It seems every week there is an article or blog post decrying the lack of women and people of color in software engineering, or on the other side defending the gap. At LaunchDarkly I have experienced similar intellectual honesty, one of the many facets of our outstanding engineering culture.

While many of the line management skills I already had translated over, it nonetheless took me quite a while to learn how to effectively “see” the whole organization (and especially where there was friction or where we might need more support) through an additional layer of management.

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. And that with me learning how to deploy ADA services in the cloud. How do you document that?
