E2 - What does it take to be an Engineering Manager?

In the fireside chat, I explore with Joe his perspective on engineering management and the qualities of a great manager. We also discuss how you could make the transition from engineering to management and what to expect.

Joe has entered the tech world as a bit of a late bloomer. He was 20 years old when he took his first programming course in college and it peaked his interest. And it was 6 months later, when he installed his first Linux distro (Ubuntu Gusty Gibbons) on his laptop, he knew he was gonna spend all his career playing with computers. In 2019, he transitioned to a management position, working on OpenStack at Red Hat.
