2 days agoThe person who always offers to drive, always picks the restaurant, always plans the trip is rarely the controlling one in the group. They're the one who learned early that if they didn't organize the connection, the connection simply wouldn't happen. - Silicon Canals

Many work late to avoid confronting uncomfortable emotions, not just to be productive.

A little bit about myself. In my previous life, I was staff platform engineering. I focused a lot of development engineering and everything that basically was the sociotechnical aspect of our technical work. I recently was working as a CTO and co-founder of a startup, and nowadays I'm just doing advisory roles and a little bit of consulting while trying to think about the next big thing.

My daughter, Ivy, recently joined a swim club. As a former competitive swimmer, it's been a delight to witness. Every time I take her to practice, I feel a wave of nostalgia that reminds me of all the many years I spent in the pool and all the many teammates I collected along the way.

1 month agoOne Team Keeps Boycotting My Meetings. This Feels Personal.
No wonder it feels personal that this team rejects your efforts. It is personal; it's happening to you. But it's not about you. This team might have so much internal tension that they can't stand to be in a meeting together. Maybe they had a bad experience with your predecessor. They might think they know it all already and attending meetings is just wasting their time. Or it could really be as straightforward as what they've told you: Their working hours and training times are already used up.
