Rummo is where it’s at though. Forget Barilla

One thing we no longer talk about is position vs knowledge power. The idea that people with authority should listen to people with knowledge felt radical in the 90’s

Sort of?

When I’m coaching, much of it is applying old-for-me lessons to new situations

The coaching I’m getting feels so meta that there’s little to write about. 150% tacit knowledge

💯 coaching feels more rewarding because you can see the effect and adjust in real time. Plus there’s skin in the game when it’s folks on your team

Engineering is about simplification. Your time polishing an unnecessary step of the process is wasted. Delete the damn step.

In a growing company, your needs change all the time. The brilliant life-saving code from 6 months ago may be completely obsolete today.
