The human side of world-class engineering leadership | Michael Lopp (Apple, Palantir, Slack)
In Depth
Engineering Input
š¬ āI have an issue with product managers [...] because the bad ones create a scenario [where] engineering doesnāt feel like they have a vote in what gets builtā¦ā
- Ensure engineers feel they have a voice in product decisions.
- An engineering culture where engineers don't feel they can invent is bad.
- 29% time is one countermeasure.
- Engineers should understand why a feature is important, not just how to build it.
- Explain the importance of features to engineers, even if it's a distant metric like e-commerce advertising.
Key takeaway: Get engineers to care about the why as they are the ones building the product.
