Want to Be the Best Engineering Manager? Here's Everything You Shouldn't Do

Ever wondered what makes an exceptional engineering manager? Well, grab your popcorn because we're going to learn from the absolute worst. Meet Chad, the anti-pattern of engineering management, who's here to teach us valuable lessons through his spectacular failures.

On Conflict Resolution

While great managers defuse conflicts early, Chad believes in the "let them fight it out" methodology. His favorite technique? Watching two engineers argue about tabs vs. spaces in Slack for three weeks before declaring "interesting discussion, guys" and changing the subject to his CrossFit routine. Bonus points for bringing up the unresolved conflict six months later during performance reviews!
