Really good retrospectives. It’s valuable advice for engineers at all stages!

Fun fact to share 🤪

  • I have had a new hire co-worker who was absolutely unable to do 1), but constantly doing 2) and 3).
  • He is not able to think independently before taking an action (so asking for help, nonstop) but is constantly trying to kill everyone’s baby, with a strong desire: “oh man I want to walk away from problem task ASAP”.

I appreciate great engineers. Sometimes I think we should give more credits to self-sufficient engineers ;)

Thank you!
Sounds like a tricky co-worker to deal with, hats off to you for working with engineers like that. :-) I can't imagine how hard it must be.
