That's the composure of a man who knows that he knows how to do his job. Thank you from a fresh EM!

@m1rac1e

every single word that comes out his mouth is pure gold honestly.

It seems to boil down to be HONEST, conscientious, & intelligent

@dlodeprojuicer

Please do more content with Dave. Theres so much more we can learn from him.

@IvayloKabakov

Gees, this conversation was great!
I love this guy! Zero noise, pure signal.
Just brilliant!

@rajeevrp1500

So much clarity on his thoughts. This was a really good conversation.

@gameplayer1980

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.

@kalmurza

Bookmarked. One of the best videos on engineering management out of hundreds of them on YouTube

@ishan000000

This is one of the best interviews I've heard in sometime, anywhere actually.

@FR-nt4ei

I keep rewatching this video for years now.

@davidv5748

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!

@eliegakuba

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.

@dikan7421

Dave thank you for sharing, it's excellent to see seniors likes you come and share .

Communication, communication is highly important, totally agree.

@keerthymganesh1495

Man he knows what he does! Expecting more interviews from Dave!

@worlddigitalclinic3264

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!
