Team efficiency can suffer from all kinds of friction. Poor communication, unrealistic expectations and lack of documentation are only a few of the examples I outlined in my blog post "Don’t push harder. Reduce friction." Be the Zamboni that enables your team to skate gracefully!

The Monospace Mentor · Don't push harder. Reduce friction.In this article, I highlight the many challenges that keep us from achieving great team efficiency, and approaches to overcome them.

In my conversations with junior engineers, the issue of work hours comes up often. More often than it should, actually. But there's a lot of bad advice out there, for example "You need to work 80-hour weeks to get good." I wrote an article on why that's silly.

The Monospace Mentor · 80-hour weeks don't make a great engineer. They'll break a great engineer.In this article, I show how silly the notion is that becoming a great engineer requires an inhuman amount of working hours.

"Getting together in human meatspace is expensive, it’s annoying, it’s awkward and uncomfortable and inconvenient … and it is necessary. It’s not optional or a “nice-to-have,” it is a ✨critical ingredient✨ of the recipe that makes high-performing distributed teams work.

Company culture isn’t what you say it is, it’s what you all do every day. It’s the unspoken rules and mores. It’s the thing that nobody has to talk about, but everybody follows.

It can be influenced, but it can’t be “decided” (at least not by one person). Culture is emergent, evolved. It is not chosen.

If you can point to it and say you designed it, what you are talking about is not your company culture.
