For years, Doug Christie has talked about the unfinished business he feels in Sacramento when it comes to winning the ultimate prize for this city. Kings are a long way away from that still. But Christie coaches on the sidelines like he's still wearing #13 & guarding Kobe.

A common complaint is when folks complain about leadership treating about engineers being treated as fungible "resources". This is of course entirely valid, and a common failure mode for managers ... but it also lacks a bit of nuance ... 🧵

One piece of career advice when you are interviewing: avoid working with someone emotionally immature who will have power over your success. It's harder to negotiate, reason, and repair ruptures with anyone who isn't quite mature, be they a report or a peer. Pass if they control your job security.
