  1. When I was coming up with guidelines for TPMs, I thought back to my time as a developer hating excessive process done in the service of making PM (or other managers') lives easier 1. Effectiveness over efficiency 2. Developer effectiveness >> PM efficiency @johncutlefish/1542375558658437121

      Related quote from @aadilmaan's post > us TPMs had to spend time and energy to synthesize answers around the project management questions for leadership but we did it without intruding in the space which the engineers needed to operate and live day in day out

        I'm also reminded of Andy Grove > The output of a manager is the output of the organizational units under his or her supervision or influence A TPM may not be managing people, but putting the burden of the TPM's job on developers is negative leverage --> less successful project
