Stevey's Tech Talk S1E19: So You Want To Be A Manager
Listen now
Description
In this episode I rant at length about the terrible reasons that people have for wanting to go into management/leadership.  I get really worked up by the end. Just to clarify one part of the video, I really love both Korea and Japan. They both have great food, great movies and shows, great people, and are both amazing and awesome countries. They just have terrible, TERRIBLE tech management culture, each in their own messed-up way. And they're not the only ones; they just happen to be two that I picked on this time around. Apologies for the color grading.  I seem to have lost my color grading entirely in the last episode, likely from an OBS upgrade, which turned me bright pink under my softbox lights, and I didn't notice it until after recording this one. So I threw in a band-aid LUT for now.
