Staying Hands-On, as an Engineering Manager or a Tech Lead

Reference

• Hands-on benefits: Trust with the team, easier to stay up to date, keeping career paths open.
• Succeeding:
  • Onboard to your team like a software engineer.
  • You can’t prove you know how something works until you can picture it for others and teach it to them.
• Activities to stay hands-on with:
  • Design docs.
  • Code reviews.
  • Operational reviews: What are the systems’ health metrics, operational dashboard, and other indicators of how products and systems are performing.
  • On call?
  • Outages and incident reviews.
• As a manager, or lead, your goal is not to act as yet another senior software engineer who churns out code: but it’s to multiply the team’s output by doing things that are not you coding by yourself. While it can feel good to retreat and write code - and enjoy your code doing what it should be doing - beware of spending too much time on these activities, while neglecting the things that your team really needs from you.

• Be mindful of not snatching the “best” work from engineers on the team.

• Simplest way of “iterating over children x amount of times

{/* @ts-ignore */}
<input type="number" value={quantity} onChange={(e) => setQuantity(e.target.value)} />
<code>{quantity}</code>

{Children.map(arrayChildren, (child, index) => {
    if (index < quantity) {
      return (child);
    }
  }
)}
