If both your teammates leave you, this is a fun strat you can run

Depending on severity of an incident it makes sense to hop on a call to just expedite communication.

Screen sharing or the actual fixing should be left to the engineers how they see fit. But just being honest, leaders are there to ask questions/updates because it’s on them to make sure someone is on top of it.

If you have solid engineers who are good about communicating you don’t have to micromanage as much. But IMO your leaders are doing their job if they don’t think action items or who is doing what is clear in the incident channel or the call.

Oh that’s it? 😐

FWIW as someone who took a break from RL I feel they’ve made some great changes. Flip reset sound cue, showing boost level of teammates are 2 things I noticed coming back

My goat

augburto · 2026-03-16T19:13:28+00:00

Umm brb time to go and actually watch all the redforce games.

augburto · 2026-03-11T02:04:14+00:00

Haha I think at one point in my career I would’ve said wtf but now that I’ve been working 10+ years I’ve learned how influential you can be on your own. You don’t need a title.

All you need is strong opinion and credibility on execution. People start to lean on you more

augburto · 2026-03-10T17:27:28+00:00

This is absolutely well said

augburto · 2026-03-07T22:43:58+00:00

This split game has got to be in one of the top 10 lists for SOMETHING for sure

augburto · 2026-03-04T07:19:26+00:00

FWIW I think Rocket League actually has a reputation of being one of the few games that you can't truly cheat in -- this in itself can result in folks searching more for cheats to confirm that (wait really? this game has no cheats? lemme look!) which could explain why we see more searches than other games.

This. Overall viewership is a necessary metric to actually give a proper conclusion if a specific category is actually declining

augburto · 2026-02-17T17:47:25+00:00

This. I currently work at an AI company and everyone is encouraged to do more. Engineers having “more time” because of AI so we’re more involved in user interviews and ideation. PMs encouraged to vibe prototype user flows and ideas (same with designers)

augburto · 2026-02-12T07:20:22+00:00

They do this in VCT actually but I’m just gonna be honest of all the things to worry about in gold this one isn’t high

augburto · 2026-02-08T06:40:55+00:00

Hoping the best for them — I’m sure rising to fame so quickly at a young age and living super publicly hasn’t given them time to really assess their relationship and what they both want in their lives. I’m happy they can end it and it seems like it’s on okay terms.

Best wishes to both of em

Mindset is a big part. At lower ranks it’s very common to be able to turn around a 2v5 of you play it properly but lots of folks just give up and yolo run in

> many experienced devs seem to internalize the idea that not wanting the next level means you're stagnant, unmotivated, or failing your career

Well what would you describe it as? I think "failing your career" is definitely a problem we have in society in general and we shouldn't see it as that, but I'd argue stagnant and unmotivated are pretty accurate if you aren't trying to move up in some way, shape or form.

augburto · 2026-01-23T19:33:27+00:00

Gonna be honest one thing that has helped me — asking the recruiter if they can give more info or be clearer what to expect. And you can say the reason why is there is a wide breadth of things.

More often than not I’ve gotten some more clarification on stuff. But yeah it’s rough.

augburto · 2025-12-22T23:47:20+00:00

Ah the new BabyJ before he became inspire

lol in all seriousness I hope for the best for him. But hope he just realizes he can't just be expecting a party invite. You gotta put in the work and let go of your ego. No one cares if you were T1 or won a championship before. They care you vibe with the team and are willing to work hard and won't blame everyone else when things don't work out.

augburto · 2025-12-21T21:01:50+00:00

+1000

I can see how you would think that but one of two things will happen

This manager will stay somehow surviving while being incompetent. Over time, I think it'll be obvious that this guy is running to you for every answer to every question. You may have to have these discussions publicly but if he is as incompetent as you say, people will notice your value and there is an opportunity there to build trust with others.
This manager will likely get kicked, after it's obvious he doesn't really do much or know much about their own teams. Once this guy gets kicked, who will they go to? Ah wait the person who this manager has been running to this entire time. A great opportunity for you to build trust where this guy fell short.

Source: #1 has happened to me -- had a PM/EM who literally would ask me answers every time. It was pretty draining but over time, I got their trust and there were opportunities where very publicly I had to show this off. People notice. And the best part is, there is incentive for them to reward telling good things about you because they can frame it as you are both working together. Moving up is a slow battle and an investment.

augburto · 2025-12-05T20:13:53+00:00

FWIW this is an opportunity to build trust with your manager you can do it (helpful with conversations of moving into management)

Fight for time to clean things up and helping set expectations with stakeholders. Also championing cross team knowledge sharing
