This Is Why Managers Don't Trust Programmers...
Manage episode 415733223 series 1756036
Have you ever seen another programmer who wasn't as skilled as you get promoted? Did you tell yourself management was making a mistake?
Earlier in my career I didn't realize I was doing some things that caused managers to lose confidence in me. I would spend all my time writing code and never think about how I came across to other people.
In this episode, I share some harsh truths I've learned about how being a software engineer can cause us to do things we think the company wants - that actually hurt our reputation in the long run.
Companies are actually paying you for confidence as a programmer. And this episode is full of practical strategies for making sure you don't fall into traps that stop you from getting recognized for the great code you write as a programmer - before your career is really getting started!
