Twitter's engineering team struggled to advocate for themselves. What do you think other people should take from this experience? Start early, at least being mindful of itan an my essay. When is putting one person on it worth while? If one person starts and does a good job, like they can sort of set things up so it's easier to add the next person at the right time. And if you wait and let everybody just roll their own stuff, or people like ha build half fastversions of things that everybody uses and everybody hates, then it's really hard to unwind that.
In this episode Abi talks with Peter Seibel. Peter previously was the Director of Engineering for the Democratic National Committee, and before that led Twitter’s Engineering Effectiveness (EE) team. In this interview, Peter reflects on his experience at Twitter, sharing why it’s better to invest in EE early and his vision for how EE teams can fulfill their potential.
