We just released a new ContraVariance Podcast Episode:
Contents
Our two guests in this episode are Cate Huston, Engineering Director at DuckDuckGo and Tammo Freese, Engineering Manager at Mobimeo.
This time, we discuss the progression from engineering to leadership. Have you considered becoming a team lead and going into management? Do you wonder if this is the right step? Will you still be coding or performing engineering work? This episode tries to shed light on some of these issues.
Apart from that, we also discuss management best practices, how to communicate tricky topics, how to handle remote teams and finally we dive into the fascinating topic of raccoons. We hope you enjoy this episode!
