@grmpyprogrammer Thanks for sharing. While looking it up on Amazon, I stumbled upon The Staff Engineer’s Path, also by @cate, so I bought that one instead. 🙂 https://a.co/d/cjtAUEg

@ramsey You mean this one? 😂😂😂

@grmpyprogrammer @cate Oops. Sorry. I got confused. The Staff Engineer book is by Tanya Reilly. Not Cate.

@ramsey @grmpyprogrammer it's a very good book I totally understand :)

@cate @grmpyprogrammer I am interested in the Engineering Leader book, as well, but as one focused on the IC path, I’m not sure whether it applies to me.

@ramsey @cate @grmpyprogrammer in my experience, knowing what your 1-up’s life looks like makes your life a lot easier. It also tells you what you can expect. (That said, you’ve been around the block an few times, so maybe not super necessary for you :)

@grmpyprogrammer @cate how is it? I’m always looking for programming leadership reads

grmpyprogrammer, 29 days ago

@scottkeckwarren @cate Too early in my reading to draw any conclusions. Will definitely share my thoughts when I finish

@grmpyprogrammer definitely will look for your feedback. Looks interesting.

@grmpyprogrammer thanks to the foreword, this Kevin Bacons the 'click and the Dublin IT nerd scene for me, actually mildly freaked out!

Also I should probably read it.

@heretohinder It’s been almost 20 years since I worked at the Click and the scars are always visible
