"Part of my philosophy is that the team should not need me."
The 3rd episode of Engineering Managers Series is about staying curious, fostering the team spirit, being in the middle of a sandwich, and why management shouldn’t be mistaken for parenting...“The role of Engineering Manager is in a sandwich.

How the role differs from a Team Lead or a Tech Lead, etc. He also shares how important it is to create a team spirit and the sense of belonging in a team, as opposed to just having people working in a group.

#1 episode of Deconstructing Engineering Managers is about breaking the rules, soft skills, collaboration on tech specs, and fresh air on what it means to be a real full-stack developer.
Luis Castro, a Full-Stack Developer and a Tech Lead at Cameo. He is also a co-host of a podcast “No Es Sólo Código”, which is in Spanish and means “It's Not Only Code” where he and Alexis Duran talk about everything it takes to be a developer, not only the technical excellence. And that's also the angle of this podcast. Luis presents his view of what it means to be a true Full-Stack Product Developer — watch out because he won’t mention much technology knowledge there either "To me, a full-stack is a true Product Developer. Someone that can understand what are the design needs, what are the business model needs, what are the product needs, and how to deliver fast from the back-end to the front-end, etc." Listen to the whole episode for some great tips on becoming a senior engineer and manager. -
