Google is a very large company, yi, na. You can afford tust like, very deep, sute technical rabbit holes and making it a fulfilling ino t mission out of it. But i don't think a tenperson team is allowed that luxury. And for what it's worth, when talk about gugo or microsop or others, i would say it's more customer, not commercial. I tend to think that they would be better off if they at least have that mind set as a post of detecti ratios.
Erik Bernhardsson joins us on the podcast to chat about building engineering teams and the delicate balance between innovation and productivity as organizations grow.
Erik has been scaling engineering teams for years. In its early days, he managed the analytics and machine learning teams at Spotify. Next, he grew Better's engineering team from 0 to 300, where he was CTO until the beginning of 2021. Erik is now working on a yet-to-be-named project that will bring exciting new tools to data teams.
In this episode, we also shared our views on team mentalities, skunkworks projects, and more as we tried to answer the question: "what is success in engineering?"
