Hmm, hiring good people is hard. Really hard lately. I’ve been lucky enough to have been employed for the past 3 years at media6degrees, m6d, and now dstillery. Same company. I’ve been promoted to a lead software engineer at the beginning of the year. It’s been fun so far.
I’ve been working for my guys. I’ve been pushing them around. But my main goal is helping them. That’s the type of leader I want to become. Leader that opens doors for others. That gives me joy and motivation. I enjoy doing that.
I have a lot to learn as a leader. But I’m learning. I am willing to learn. Willing to fall down to get up again.
