An Engineer’s Bill of Rights and Responsibilities
If you let all the power drift over to the engineering managers, pretty soon it doesn’t look so great to be an engineer.

We all want autonomy and impact, we all crave a seat at the table. You need to work harder to save those seats for non-managers.
