| 122. | I ignore the spotlight as a staff engineer | (lalitm.com) |
|
|
Discussed on Hacker News, lobste.rs and r/programming. Lately I’ve been reading Sean Goedecke’s essays on being a Staff+ engineer. His work (particularly Software engineering under the spotlight and It’s Not Your Codebase) is razor-sharp and feels painfully familiar to anyone in Big Tech. On paper, I fit the mold he describes: I’m a Senior Staff engineer at Google. Yet, reading his work left me with a lingering sense of unease. At first, I dismissed this as cynicism. After reflecting, however, I realized the problem wasn’t Sean’s writing but my reading. Sean isn’t being bleak; he is accurately describing how to deal with a world where engineers are fungible assets and priorities shift quarterly. But my job looks nothing like that and I know deep down that if I tried to operate in that environment or in the way he described I’d burn out within months. Instead I’ve followed an alternate path, one that optimizes for systems over spotlights, and stewardship over fungibility. | |

It has been more than six months since my last post on the Rust compiler’s performance. In that time I lost one job and gained another. I have less time to work directly on the Rust compiler than I used to, but I am still doing some stuff, while also working on other interesting things. | |
