Meaning, you need to pick one. If you're still spending multiple hours coding per day, 💯% chance you aren't doing great at managing.

Heard of the term #gluework for the very first time today in #ChristineChapman 's talk on "Changing the story of retention in tech" at #DF2021. The term #gluework was coined by @whereistanya (programmingtalks.org/talk/be…) We see this work on teams all the time. Distribute this work.

Replying to @KevinGoldsmith
@KevinGoldsmith while talking about #engineering #managers fearing becoming #non-technical, "As you manage larger teams, you need to understand areas that you didn't work in as a developer". YES! Makes me feel heard! I went through this recently. #Learning continues. #DF2021

@CTartow kicking off her talk with a compelling sad statistic and following up with why #diversity is important in #Engineering #Leadership. Good start to the talk! #DiversityMatters #DF2021

One of the things I've appreciated during this time of lockdown is the way that different conferences have innovated on the form. I'm in the @developer_first #DF2021 conference today and love their approach. Check it out! developer-first.com/conferen… kudos to @KateWardin!

@CTartow Great and compelling visual to serve as a reminder that #diversity without #inclusion is nothing. #EngineeringLeadership #DeveloperFirst #DF2021

Replying to @rdeetz
@rdeetz Loved the idea of interviewing and discussing career paths with your team based on team habits and culture. Great talk! #DF2021 #techleadership #transparency #DeveloperFirst
Love that quote from @brilimitless during #DF2021 "Doing #TDD, I wondered why the test failed... I forgot that I did not code the implementation yet."
