Episode notes

Non engineers being managers of engineering teams never makes sense, says Taft. You can't lose the respect of the people that you manage if you don't understand their struggles. There's an art to organization building, and its not one variable that you can really pull apart. At this early stage in a start-up it is important to get ahead of engineering before they think about getting there themselves.

Jason and Eiso wrap up their three-part series on Engineering Leadership roles by taking a deep dive into engineering managers and tech leads.

Learn how to hire your first engineering manager, whether to hire your engineering leaders from inside the company, and how the roles of tech leads change as your company grows. We also covered some communication techniques and how to design your teams as the company scales and communication lines increase.
