Do you want to hear a story about stifling growth and creativity through the lens of one developer's personal story?
You're in luck!
Join Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Coach Om Patel as they watch and react to Theo's YouTube video: "Being a good engineer kinda sucks," April 28, 2025.
It's a tale about the tension between excelling at your craft versus navigating organizational politics and dysfunction.
That's right, today, we're talking about themes of career development, team dynamics, and leadership, so feel free to stick around for our thoughts on these and:
- The sustainability trap of overworking to meet unrealistic expectations
- How organizational politics can punish innovation and excellence
- The importance of product sense vs. documentation-driven development
- Finding and nurturing relationships with like-minded professionals
