- a good engineer cares about the work and understands how it connects to business impact, not just collecting a paycheck
- communication is the most repeated trait of strong engineers, from explaining your work to building empathy with your team
- devrel is not going away but it needs time, sometimes a year or more, to prove value which clashes with short term business metrics
- before applying to a company, engage with people who work there on social media so you are not a stranger when you reach out
- follow up more than once when job searching, most busy people do not respond until the second or third message
