You make a valid point.

We already have similar things going on in the world, so maybe we can look at that first. Let's say a car mechanic fixes a car, but does it wrong. The car leaves, the next day it causes an accident due to whatever the mechanic did wrong. What is the mechanic's responsibility in this case? 100%? 0%?

Should that person go to jail for manslaughter? I don't know of instances where that happened, but it might have.


I'd recommend you check out the Level-up Engineering podcast. They cover engineering management topics with a large library of content out already, and it keeps going strong. https://codingsans.com/engineering-management-podcast


This podcast is gold!


+1 Love his honesty about his motivations to become a director. Most people would never admit these even to themselves, let alone say it out loud in a podcast.


The biggest inspirations I usually get from stories like this is when someone admits her shortcomings. I tend to be more interested in the failures than the successes.


Agreed. When people say everything is smooth sailing, there is not much to take away. When they explain how they screwed up something, you instantly have a lesson.


Mike did mention this topic could be a full other podcast episode, so maybe that'll happen at some point too.
