A curated, living document of heuristics and practical advice for effective engineering management, covering topics like one-on-ones, coaching, feedback, decision-making, hiring, and managing up. It is written primarily for new managers but also serves experienced managers looking to sharpen their skills.

Use cases

  • learn how to run effective one-on-ones with direct reports
  • advice for new engineering managers starting their career
  • how to give constructive feedback to team members
  • frameworks for making decisions as a manager
  • tips for hiring and onboarding engineers
  • how to manage up and communicate with executives
  • guidance on how technical an engineering manager should be

When to choose

  • you are transitioning from senior engineer to your first management role
  • you want concise, experience-based management heuristics rather than a long book
  • you are an experienced manager looking to refresh practices around feedback, coaching, or hiring

When to avoid

  • you need a software tool or application rather than written guidance
  • you want formal management training or certification with exercises
  • you need advice for non-engineering or general corporate management contexts
