Ryan Cheley joins me today to talk about some challenges of managing software teams, and how to handle them.
We end up talking about a lot of skills that are excellent for software engineers as well as managers.
Some topics discussed:
handling code reviews
asking good questions
being honest about what you can't do with current resources and data
discussing tradeoffs and offering solutions that can be completed faster than the ideal solution
balancing engineering and managing
making sure documentation happens
remote teams
encouraging collaboration
encouraging non-work-related conversations
watching out for overworking
