Distinguished Engineer at Comcast = Senior Engineer at every tech company

very well put

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing!

The absolute worst experience is an "over-experienced" principal engineer and on top of that a non-PoC Principal Engineer who ALWAYS takes the my way or the highway approach. If you haven't moved up, move out. So many engineers are now leaving because of snobbish power drunk Principal Engineers. As if leaving your manager was not enough.

LeadDev, if you want your talks to be accessible, put the topic in the video title instead of relying on only the thumbnail image. All the videos for this conference need to be re-titled.

Thank you, I would like to get a code review instead of being thrown a coding task with 20 min time limit while entertaining interviewer.

This is a great video. I’m impressed that after a month I’m the first one to comment. This shows how much we need more people like you in the tech hiring process!

This talk has been featured in the last issue of Tech Talks Weekly newsletter. Congrats 👏!

Unfortunately, they seem to talk around the subject the entire time.

The description doesn't match the video.

Thank you for the well presented talk!

Big fan of the videos I do have a question that I think it might be worth discussing on a video/pannel, especially for mid-senior career engineers (seasoned senior SW engineers in Tech and/or automotive): Would you rather be a L5 (senior SW engineer) in a big name or an L6 or L7 (Staff SW engineer) in a small name (startup or medium size company) in the same field (Tech or automotive). Apparently, I'd have more responsibilities and gain faster and broader experience in the small name (usually you have to lead a variety of very diverse projects with tight budgets and timelines), but the question would always be does working in a small name company would hurt my chances in being employable down the road, plus the stress of financial instability of small companies. Would appreciate your input to the topic

Another banger. Very insightful content.

Loving the excalidraw slides

I'm starting a new project and moving into the tech lead role.

It was great to listen and learn. It challenges your thinking, and beyond the thinking at first glance that being right is about ego, it actually speaks more to asking the questions why you think you are right, and accommodate views different from your own in making better-informed decisions and ultimately, predictions. Sho's leadership track record from way back in high school (he was my senior and Head prefect back then!) into the present day qualifies him to speak and share intelligently on this subject.

Too much abstract talking

i don't think its vague enough tbh. how about "working worker"? has a better ring to it.

Nice program Weldon good work

Nicely structured without any water. Good job. Or not, water was actually, one for the pretzels😅

Learned not only about the three mile island and disaster but also look with different perspective. Why title of this video was not start with '' what '' instead of '' who '' ? Thanks, very impressive talk.

This was super helpful , I’m a platform PM & writing documents for a technical audience has been challenging I’m looking to grow an improve in this area.

Oh Christ more Rule Britannia I see. So how successful were they? How many operational Mach 3 aircraft, mate? How many operational 80,000+ ft altitude aircraft ol' boy. Look I'm actually a bit of an anglophile so maybe it's better if it came from me. It's over guys, the days of the magnificent empire and brutalizing primitive peoples is all over. Unfortunately we've taken that over. This post WW2 craze to try to take undeserved credit like this video or calling the Comet the pioneer in passenger jet travel are ludicrous. Well unless making a flying artillery shell is part of the design. I give Geoffrey DeHavilland credit for trying, failed, but he tried. And truth be told the Comet came from the 1942 (the lowest point in the war) Brabazon committee and was designed to, and let's be honest here, to get a jump over their American competitors. Yeah their American ALLIES who turned all commercial enterprises into making the tools of war, many of which we shipped to y'all. Not exactly old school tie, eh wut? Look you're the home of Newton, Shakespeare, Faraday, Priestly, Turing and many nore and some top notch engineering can not be denied and I'm sure you'll produce some great breakthroughs but the torch has been passed. And just to piss you off further I'd say look to the French and the Spanish who once were mighty empires too, they seem to have dealt with it with more grace.

ahhh it's hard to find the root cause most overviews just state "feed pump tripped", nice to see some of the details...thanks

This aged poorly

Someone who speaks for a living should know better than to make a loud smacking noise at the beginning of a sentence. Nevertheless your analysis is spot on and your thesis that proper evaluation of an incident must look past blame and individual actions to find the flawed designs procedures and systems that are the true cause of most tradgedies is insightful to say the very least.

Came here from the staff engineer’s path link

I listen to all of his leaddev talks atleast twice a year. He is such a good storyteller and aviation is of course amazing.

If I heard this right this happened on the third shift late in the night- early morning. I don’t know how many of you have ever worked third shift but there is a couple of things that take place on the third shift. One no one is well rested, I worked third shift many years ago and I was a complete and utter mess from lack of sleep. It’s not natural to sleep during the day. Second the least experienced people generally work the third shift. They don’t call the third shift the grave yard shift for nothing. Try making good decisions when you have not had a good night sleep in a very long time. I think the melt down in Russia-Ukraine also took place during your third shift.

“It’s just f***ing spreadsheets, all the way down.” 😂

Great presentation. Also the Ben Rich book SKUNK WORKS is a good read

Sniff!

Clockboy?😊

Or do you call it skunk works because someone read "lil' Abner."

Good times, amazing days.

Great talk! Thanks a lot for sharing, Sabrina.

Brilliant!

Well done Col.

Great topic. Interested in your wisdom and thoughts. Could not care less about your gender and pronouns team.

6-12 Months for knowing your team in some cases may be insanely high

What’s the difference between staff and principle engineer ?

😅bullshit, wasting my time

Is it just me or did she say "I can't be in all the conversations, but if you're making decisions about the demo then keep me updated" which is exactly what her team did. And then she proceeded not to make it clear why she was so emotional in the first retrospective. Interesting tack to prove a point 🤔

Honestly I didn’t learn much from this. They all sounded like they were describing tech leads or senior engineers or even staff engineers. It wasn’t clear why these people have the principal title instead of say senior, staff, or even sr. staff.

Best youtube video. Awesome talk!

As a Staff Software Engineer, I'm trying to reformulate the stress management formula. Hearing you, I noticed what I thought it was obvious: "Everyone feels stress, even the Principal and the Staff" I noticed that been transparent to your team helps better. Some people told me "how you can handle this kind of work? I do not feel capable to do it". Been transparent and say, "I feel the same way today, or I remember last month another day. But look what we have been accomplished" Share with transparency helps yourself and team morale. I started hearing, "I can be Staff too, lets keep going"

If these Nuclear scientists weren't able to stop this accident, I don't believe were safe living amosgt a Nuclear Reactor. These the top of the top, Ivy league, top 5% of minds in the world.
