Procrastination

I'm definitely generating a P-Zone today. Three reviews to write by Sunday night and I've set aside the whole day today to do it. Right now I'm four hours into it and have a grand total of one sentence written. Ah, well. At least I made it to the gym this morning.

Update:

Well, that helped. Acknowledging the P-Field has allowed me to crank out one of the reviews. Onward!

Core Engineering Management Responsibiities

I think I found two core responsibilities of management at Adobe:

(1) You always stay on top of things and try to push them forward to the best of your ability.
(2) You build your company assets with care. Company assets for software are really the people that work here. That explicitly means you develop people in whatever capacity they do best.

That's for daily team leadership. There’s more around vision and risk taking, though I’ve not yet been able to distill that into a single sentence.

Lets Just Start Writing Code

Management gabs and is directionless for too long. I wanna start doing stuff.

I wonder if we could get a serious workforce strike going?

If direct action has worked in the past, why can't it do so now? Direct action to stop the war is a good start. Think big. Think a decade in time span. How about direct action to down-fund the military industrial complex? That would hit both parties pretty hard. And we could learn from stopping the war now.

How do we do it? Anybody up for a brainstorm?
