This is a very nice post - not because the actual suggestions are good, but it demonstrates what a really technically sound VP looks like.
In most large tech companies, VP level people are so detached, delusional, and unskilled in engineering, that they end up undervaluing what engineers really do. They are unable to explain it beyond stack ranking them.
As an example, this post talks about how simplicity and maintenance brings value. But my VP literally fired people who did not produce new complex impact.
Just goes to show why so many people hate the big tech industry as employees. It is being run by charlatans who abscond from any real leadership.
