HAVE FREQUENTLY BEEN CALLED A “WEBMASTER”
TECH SKILLS ARE OVERRATED
•PRACTICE EMPATHY •PRACTICE HUMILITY •ALWAYS BE LEARNING •AVOID TRIBALISM •BETTER
YOUR COMMUNITY
PRACTICE EMPATHY •Empathy is the ability to understand how a
person feels, and why they may feel that way. •Empathy is your most important skill.
PRACTICE EMPATHY •Practice it with everyone you interact with, and
everyone who interacts with your work. •Always keep two groups in mind: the users and the rest of your team.
PRACTICE EMPATHY •Solve the user’s problems, not yours •To solve
their problems, must empathize with them
PRACTICE EMPATHY •Make choices with teammates in mind •Anticipate questions
and confusion •Think weeks, months, years ahead
PRACTICE EMPATHY •Don’t assume people know what you know
PRACTICE HUMILITY •Humility goes hand in hand with empathy •You’ll
always be learning and improving. Accept and own-up to mistakes. •The less you fear being wrong, the more confident you can be.
PRACTICE HUMILITY •You’re wrong about many things •So is everyone
else •Allow others to practice humility
ALWAYS BE LEARNING •Be liberal in learning about new technologies
and approaches. Be conservative in using them. •Any technology can be the right choice depending on the needs of the project and strengths of the team.
ALWAYS BE LEARNING •Set aside a little time each week
to learn about new tech. •At conferences, try to catch one or two talks about technologies you don’t know much about.
AVOID TRIBALISM •Refuse to participate in tribalism. •View absolute statements
with extreme skepticism. •Build communities with what we have in common. Embrace diversity. Help people feel safe.
AVOID TRIBALISM •Dismissing a technology without a sound, reasonable argument
is lazy and prone to error. •Be extremely careful about participating in X vs Y arguments.
AVOID TRIBALISM •Reserve your loyalty for people. Not brands. Not
companies. Not technologies.
BETTER YOUR COMMUNITY •Make people’s lives better with your skills.
•Make the community around you better. You don’t need to go to some Magic City of Tech Genius to do important work.
BETTER YOUR COMMUNITY •Share what you learn with the people
around you. Ask them to share what they have learned with you.
BUT I’M A SUPERVISOR! •Values of a hierarchical org distribute
from the top down •Great developers need a great org to support them
BUT I’M A SUPERVISOR! •Your job is to support and
empower the people you supervise •You aren’t more important than them. You just have a different job
BUT I’M A SUPERVISOR! •A lot of the people you
lead are scared, burned out, struggling •You must promote mental wellness OSMIHELP.ORG •Listen, understand, help, empower
