Notes de l'éditeur
- Normally talks about metrics, monitoring, non functional requirements & DevOps because I support all kinds of sys admins who deal with on call for products they don’t write
- - I had to start asking why I thought I was successful - despite female stereotypes - Family of Men - School of Girls - First Boss Female, first job mostly female team - Brown Hair?
- - Because an organization is the sum of its people. Some people add value, and others multiply it. You need to figure out how to become a multiplier.
- - what is success to you? - Where do you want to be in 5 years? - How can I get a seat by a window?
- Simplify - Lean In Example of Mark Z trying to learn Chinese
- It’s a graph, not a ladder, your mentees are as important as your mentors to maintain your status. You need to figure out how to become a multiplier.
- - Do what you say you will do and if you can’t make sure you have a good explanation (not an excuse)
- - Zach’s (CTO)
- David Callele Focus without worry it’s not loss of empathy it’s personal empowerment
