Making the jump to engineering manager

This is a placeholder first post. Replace this with your own story — what prompted the move into management, what surprised you, and what you'd tell someone considering the same jump.

A few prompts that tend to make for a good first post:

  • What was the hardest habit to unlearn from your IC days?
  • How do you measure your own success now that you're not shipping code directly?
  • What's one piece of advice you'd give your first-week-as-a-manager self?

To publish a new post, add a new markdown file to content/posts/ with the same frontmatter shape (title, date, excerpt) and it will show up on the homepage automatically.
