πŸ‘‡πŸ½ how i work

choose an ethical activity that aligns with my interests and knowledge

prioritize unblocking others, resolving unknowns, distributing knowledge, and automating what is reasonable

minimize meeting time, favor asynchronous communication

find creative ways to avoid unnecessary work to save time, and delay critical decisions to create options

try to make problems interesting, to get the teams excited by the challenges

favor clear communication in the cases of both wins and losses

πŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸŽ“ my mistakes

did not take the full context of the problem into account before solving it

refactored the whole project while there were better things to do

did not push hard enough to make the product a success

diluted my time between too many things

thought that i know better

πŸ’ͺ🏽 what i excel at

dealing with a high degree of uncertainty

making technology decisions having both startup and corporate experience

making judgement calls, building the needed things fast and iterating frequently

writing clear documentation and automation scripts, setting up environments and workflows

understanding messaging systems and databases, their performance and resilience characteristics
