"Great engineering managers are like coaches - they get their deepest thrill from seeing a team perform at the top of its game, not from performing vicariously. They understand that they are not going to be on the field between the starting and finishing whistle. They understand that there will be decisions to be taken on the field that the players will have to make for themselves, and their job is to prepare the team physically and mentally for the game, rather than to try and play from the sidelines. A great coach isn't trying to steer the movement of the ball from during the game, she's making notes about the coaching and team selections needed between this match and the next. A terrible coach is a player that won't let go of the game, wants to be out there in the thick of it, and loses themselves in the details of the game itself. An engineering manager is an organiser and a mentor and a coach, not a veteran star player. They need to love winning, and love the sport, and know that they help most by making the team into a winning team. The way they get code written is by making an environment which is conducive to that; the way they create quality is by fostering a passion for quality and making space in the schedule and the team for work which serves only that goal."

Beware the Nile perch It's a huge freshwater fish, easy to catch and eat, and tempting to introduce into non-native waters. And when it shows up? It will eat everything it can and probably drive competitive smaller fish extinct. Good intentions are rewarded with plenty of Nile perch (for now) but a degraded ecosystem in the long run. There are bright shiny objects you can bring into your life (that project, that employee, that new office) that might just push the other useful items aside. You get hooked on them or they demand more attention or they make too much noise and the less-shiny projects or people whither away. An art museum brings in a traveling show from a famous artist. It's important, expensive, time-consuming and brings big crowds. For the next six months, all eyes are on the big show. And then, of course, a vacuum, because the important but less glamorous work didn't get done. A lawsuit or a merger or a shift to a new office space might seem like a good idea at the time--but be careful what you wish for. The Nile perch is nefarious yet applauded (in the short run). Don't be afraid to call it when you see it.

"So, the Devops movement is characterized by people with a multidisciplinary skill set - people who are comfortable with infrastructure and configuration, but also happy to roll up their sleeves, write tests, debug, and ship features.

" Most people have 5 to 10 major interests in their lives. Whether it is food, gym, sports, kids, music, gaming, shopping, photography, movies, professional interests, medical, reading, homework ... People are also far more interested in making things happen and organizing their future than bragging about their immediate past. Could a generalist social network life Facebook or Google+ be in the position to organize everyone's life around any interest, in any region? I already moved away from Facebook and Google+ to Linked In for anything professional and I am sure I am not the only one, nor the last one. The value of my network is not about its size but about the activities I do with it. That is disruptive, and there is no amount of instagrams or some magical Graph API that can resist that disruption."

" If you are interested in IT management -- and web operations in particular -- you might have recently heard the term "DevOps" being tossed around. The #DevOps tag pops up regularly on Twitter. DevOps meetups and DevOpsDays conferences, are gaining steam. DevOps is, in many ways, an umbrella concept that refers to anything that smoothes out the interaction between development and operations. However, the ideas behind DevOps run much deeper than that."
