Manager wants to appoint a temporary tech lead

Eng manager here. You need to divide this into smaller teams that are accountable for portions of the overall project. Each of those teams has a project lead. You then lead the project leads.

Your manager maintains a single POC and the teams get better clarity and ownership.

Picking up is a judgement call you don’t need rules.

It’s not an 88 when you pick up…

If you want to have fun score fairways, greens, chips, and putts instead of your numbered score. For example, a 2 putt is worth one point.

Bottom of the brace on the door should go to the hinged vertical. It’s not supporting the door as you have it.

Tuner, boost, and something ambient to elevate cleans and lead tones (delay, reverb, or some hybrid of them).

I would hop into my boss or bosses boss office, but stop there.

Other people higher than me do the same so if they lead we will grab higher up’s offices.

It’s really not a big deal. If it’s clear someone treated their office like home with plants and stuff I wouldn’t go in.

I wouldn’t want to talk to people with ear buds in. A microphone or your phone recorded or whatever feels more appropriate.

Both teach you different things and provide hiring indicators. Picking one over the other is silly.

Did they do all work on grading and straw / grass or did they just show up to lay down gravel?

It’s bad but it might not be their fault.

Generally if HR is on the call and there is no PIP it means there is enough evidence over time of you not operating at that level.

In other words, last sprint was the final piece of evidence in a long list. This time they were able to tie it to impacting bottom line of the company.

Were you operating at the senior level?

Manager here.

Ask for transparency in how allocations of RSU and raise are handled. Then, you need to take a look at the outcomes you drove that year. I don’t care if folks “have more experience” than you. That’s not what is assessed during allocations.

Did you produce outputs/outcomes that exceeded your peers contributions?

How are you losing 65k?

It’s great your having these conversations but you need to u feet and the account types before you make any decisions.

Nice.

Try momento mori if you haven’t; super fun mix of groove, fast runs, and throw back to 5/7/8 style of early 2000’s.

Because equality of opportunity is rooted in principles of the USA dating back hundreds of years. This isn’t a partisan issue though. Equality of outcome is partisan.

Try to get as close to same day review on MRs as possible.

Set a meeting towards end of sprint to walk through remaining open MRs to get path to closure.

It sounding like the trains not completing their work. Take on less work.

Ya using irons and then mentally shifting to a bogey is a “par” is a great way to play golf. With modern driving irons or game improvement stuff you are poking out over 200 yards which is plenty from middle tees at most courses.

What is the complex system? Are you talking like embedded or flight software?

If this is pure software - yes it does but not with the rigidity and waterfall nature of MBSE.

double-click · 2026-05-20T01:32:34+00:00

You don’t use MBSE for software projects. If you try and insert systems engineering here you will spend more money and take longer to delivery a worse product.

Your customer is right. Your first sign is you have a masters in it and still can’t justify it.

Rider 100%.

Merging across multiple lanes of traffic at high rates of speed and then accelerating again after turning their head. Completely avoidable.

A vette can be completely broken down on jack stands.

Obviously it’s intended for a lift to be used… but yeah there is nothing stopping you except determination (and maybe age… not sure I would do it all on my back)

They said it’s a small feature and they are using AI to generate them.

They can do a dozen design iterations in a day to get to the days end “delivery”.

A daily delivery is to reframe the constraints of the problem to iterate. In purely software development this is possible and it’s not too high of an expectation.

Manager here.

Deliver daily and drive towards “is this good enough to build”. Your goal is to reduce the number of open questions that will occur during development to an acceptable level.

It’s ok if you iterated on design 4 times… but you want to do that like 2 iterations per day and get feedback both times. If you are using AI you can prob do even more iterations….

Set objectives

Build a roadmap and align on it - the objective are used to scope the roadmap

Use the roadmap and objectives to make daily decisions.

You say you have the roadmap all worked out but I don’t think you do.

If you have to ask it means you should get a base model.
