100% this. Already happening (I moved all of mine from London to Frankfurt last year, fully expecting this to happen). DCs in the UK will suffer.

> I am also completely clueless how to switch jobs as a manager. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I share my own (humble) insights right here, its a huge topic but I post…

My mistakes contributed to those hard things. I did not "claiming that is unavoidable" on this thread, if you care about being fair.

Did I?

You can't "manage observable people behaviours", they are complex human beings with unique emotions and motivations, each one behaves differently. If you try to "manage" that, they…

I'd always recommend you try it! The really brilliant part about engineering leadership is mentoring, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing one of your teams succeed, or grow…

Yes and I could go on! Engineering management is brilliant and rewarding, but also very demanding. I have made plenty of mistakes over 20+ years, and learned the painful way. All o…

Wow that's a pretty easy going list. Just wait until you have to fire a bad hire that you made, have an entire team quit after a bad crunch, or have to lay off an entire team due t…

Thanks for the tip, will try that where appropriate content relationships exist, but suspect it's minor occurrences (when you blog for 20+ years, your output varies considerably in…

For me, Google only sends organic traffic to my posts that are 10-20 years old (no joke). My newer content, while verified by me as indexed by Google, receives zero traffic. For my…

Pretty big "bugs" they have in the UK, judging by that drone:hand ratio in the pic.

Mine are accepted by Gmail so I am good. Considering how dominant Gmail is, that's all that really matters. Regarding getting a bad IP rating, normally that's due to having an inse…

Same for me, mainly for privacy concerns. And I back it up daily to my local NAS. It's so easy to configure and run your own mail server, that I'm surprised we are the minority in …

Nailed it. Most managers are executing a process or strategy defined by somebody else, they are not leaders. An org without a leader is rudderless. Can't think of a real, successfu…
