That's the composure of a man who knows that he knows how to do his job. Thank you from a fresh EM!
every single word that comes out his mouth is pure gold honestly. It seems to boil down to be HONEST, conscientious, & intelligent
Please do more content with Dave. Theres so much more we can learn from him.
Gees, this conversation was great! I love this guy! Zero noise, pure signal. Just brilliant!
That advice on "raising your hand first" when you're wrong is critical. Directs follow your example as well. You want people to take credit for their contributions but also take blame for the incorrect decisions they make.
So much clarity on his thoughts. This was a really good conversation.
I keep rewatching this video for years now.
I enjoyed listening to Dave so much that I hoped the interview would last longer. He has such clear and calm thoughts that make you trust his words. I am currently exploring my career options as I feel I have reached the top of my role as a technical lead in MLE. The engineering manager position aligns with my vision. I appreciate Dave for sharing his wisdom with us.
Bookmarked. One of the best videos on engineering management out of hundreds of them on YouTube
Great interview. This was very helpful. I love it when people can be crisp and on-point about sharing real-world knowledge. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
This is one of the best interviews I've heard in sometime, anywhere actually.
Wow this guy is like a Zen.. on top of his game... learnt a lot from this video.. not just for my upcoming interview, but also things to apply in my career
Dave thank you for sharing, it's excellent to see seniors likes you come and share .
Communication, communication is highly important, totally agree.
The guest is an amazing professional! Loved his thought process. Would have been better if there was more follow-up conversations on the points Dave mentioned. Thanks Exponent for introducing us with the amazing person.
This is Brilliant . So much learning And the best part is he is so much honest and expects completes honesty
This vid really hit home, especially when a good engineering manager isn't just about deliverables but growing their team. The part about being naive enough to take on hard challenges was dope. It kinda reminds me of how platforms like ZYLYTY are stepping up to make hiring more about real-world skills than just surface-level interviews. Totally a game-changer for devs out there trying to prove their chops without swimming through endless interviews. Great chat overall with some solid insights!
Best speaker i have seen in a very long time, precision, confidence, and concise, above all messaged clearly well passed. Thank you
The part about 1:1s not being for project updates but for growing people...that’s 🔥On Tech Teams Today podcast, leaders like Kevin Roche (Wellthy) also shared how they structure 1:1s to stay connected to individual growth, not just delivery. Good stuff
