Job search in 2025 Company: we don’t do coding & system design interviews for our managerial candidates. Candidate: it makes so much sense! I’m so glad to hear that. Company: here’s a link to our personality + IQ test as part of our hiring process. Candidate: 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🙃

Don't blame empire builders. Blame the incentives that push people to build empires to get promoted and grow.

It’s very context dependent. For example, I never wanted to be a manager back in Belarus. The management philosophy there was just completely misaligned with my values.

Fascinating how much difference in the implementation of Eng Management across companies. I’ve seen several examples when people who never wanted to be managers at one place are happily moving to EMs in other companies.

Wow, it’s an excellent write up on how big tech fails to innovate. Tldr all incentives are built to minimise risk. More action equals more risk. In the peaceful times, that makes a ton of sense but it fails miserably when action is necessary to survive. @pravse/the-maze-is-in-the-mouse-980c57cfd61a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@pravse/the-ma…

Consensus building takes time. Yup, it’s slower but that’s the price we pay for more democratic cultures where there’s room for debate.

It’s quite unintuitive but exceptionally fast decision making when it comes to complex questions touching multiple people might be a sign of top down processes where people have to follow orders coming from the top.

In the ideal world, I should be able to coach and grow all managers in my orgs to the point when I’d be happy for any of them to become my boss 😁

When I manage managers, I often ask myself: “Would I be willing to report to this manager some day? If no - why? What behaviours do I need to see to change my mind?” These questions help me think through the specifics and give better and more tangible feedback.
