      Honestly, this is the real underrated trick. A great manager removes blockers. Their job is first and foremost to get shit off the train tracks.

        I had a manager who wanted to know what we did. Understand it. Really get into the info, because only then could she really lead us, she thought.

        Worst manager I had for a long while. She didn’t understand anything and was easily annoyed by it. We were software engineers, she some media marketing whatever person. That ain’t gonna happen.

      Yeah. The one time you actually need a manager is when you have some fuck-up of a coworker who’s making things worse for everybody.
