Nice! URLs need fixing. s/blog/posts/. RSS feed takes me to robsutter.dev/blog/leaders... but it should be robsutter.dev/posts/leader...

I am very much unhappy with this template and about to go back to Hugo but am trying to focus on the content instead of messing with the platform. I am still, of course, spending more time on the platform than on content. Will fix soonest!

In today's post I pick a bone with the "Tech Lead/Manager" (TLM) role. Don't do this to your engineers. It's a recipe for burnout without much of a chance for success, even in the short term (but especially over the long term). robsutter.dev/posts/leader...

Today's chapter was my favorite so far, with lots of actionable advice and a section on a topic that fires me up every time - micromanagement! robsutter.dev/posts/leader...
