I've got them. Hate the mic on it. Love the ANC. Even with my kid crying or being loud, it works really well. If i lost mine, i would replace them in a heartbeat. And they come with multiple sized ear fittings so you can choose the right one.

And don't get me started on how different delivery need to be when you are remote vs in person.

Realization #1: you pay a large, ongoing tax in coordination and orchestration efforts between people and teams.

I think pretty much everyone knows this much. You have to make the implicit explicit, and that goes for everything.

This often manifests as an unusually high ratio of managers to ICs.

I'll save the rest for a post. There's just too much to say. 😅

Different types of projects require different delivery setups. But it's not true that the more complex a project the more complex the delivery setup has to be.

I've lived through scenarios where things went beautifully. I've also lived through a scenario where I was "leading" something but burst into tears because I had zero support from above or below. I've also lived through the more common scenarios where things are moving along but could be better.

I feel everything you shared has exactly been my experience, having returned from maternity leave back to work (and a new job!) just 4 months ago. I've been sharing my experience in a weekly newsletter with friends :)

I'm sort of in the same spot. I don't exactly know what I identify with, but something from each resonates with me.
