I've had good and bad managers, and the best ones were always ones that were good at doing something. Even if it was something less related to what I did on the day to day it's nicest when someone levels me up vs mostly being the

> we live in an environment which is not perfect, and the code is meant to contribute to the this environment That's a really delightful take! Makes me feel like the code I throw at the wall to see what sticks does make a difference

When I was the first engineer at one job my manager (who joined after I did) anticipated others saying this kind of thing about me, and told me to always remember that "the reason any of us engineers have jobs is because of your code&q
