      I think part of bad management in tech is we enact antipatterns on each other but being mindful has made me realize I did learn some things.

    Also I just have some stories I think the world should hear about how bad things can actually be. And it might be cathartic to tell them.

        I have been thinking about him a lot since I became a manager. This guy did more than anyone to make me want to leave tech.

          And returning, having the potential to do that level of harm to others, this is fucking terrifying to me. So I think about it a lot.

            I used to dread speaking to him. If an eng on my team felt like that about speaking to me I would consider myself a complete failure.

              I don't think any of them do but let's be honest I have very little way to tell without seeming like an exceptionally needy lunatic.
