Without that multiplicity, an organization risks overfitting to the short term and lacking the resources to effectively pivot when it meets a great challenge. In practice, this may look like funding the CoPE from a customer success or product department budget, rather than engineering.

2) Once the members are recruited, bring them together in a regular meeting to talk about the CoPE’s mandate, what they want to achieve, and why. It may also include informal relations like regular coffee meetings, carpool groups, and the like. Making a change requires people who will advocate for that change.

We’ve wondered, in the past, what new engineers think about how we do things at Honeycomb. Meet Elliott and Reid, two of our engineers that recently hit their 90 day mark. There’s also a strong debugging culture. We’re hiring across many departments (just so happens we have spots for new engineers, too)!

Nonetheless, I think it’s useful to share what I can about my experience in the hope that it might encourage others to seriously consider this role, especially those from backgrounds, identities, and genders poorly represented in the VP of Engineering ranks today. The whole tech industry would benefit from more perspectives in this role.

Eric and his team have a meeting with their project manager. Software engineers are not typists who translate requirements into software. Software engineers contribute to designing the products and features they are building. Eric explains that the refactoring adds short-term risk but reduces long-term risk.

And for me, the big part of the success of growth was actually a step above the pure engineering architecture. It’s firstly rooted in the engineering culture because the first Netflix employees are great people. I was both enjoying the ways, done the story behind it, and it had a huge educational component.

That’s fascinating because it touches on so much of what you know and I’ve been in software engineering for a couple of decades now, a couple of days, decades, but sounds like couple of days. I like that kind of meeting. While we’re having that meeting, there’s another service being created.

But as the engineering manager there, I grew a team from zero. A team of me to a team of about somewhere between 20 and 25 software engineers. All focused on trying to level up Indeed’s front end engineering capabilities. But I want to at least demonstrate that I’m going to try and meet the challenge.”

The purpose of recurring meetings also changes somewhat: the most valuable signal I listen for in many recurring meetings is information about how and when we need to deviate from our plans, rather than how we can best stick to them. Is there friction? Are our teams thriving? Are we preparing adequately for an uncertain future?

He describes “some surprising theories about software engineering”: I discuss these theories in terms of two fundamentally different development styles, the "cathedral" model of most of the commercial world versus the "bazaar" model of the Linux world. If you give software engineers manual work, their first instinct is to automate it.
