The constant distraction and availability resonate with me.
The main thing is to put in systems where you don’t need as much effort to handle daily business. Usually you can engineer your way out of high touch, multi-step process glue.
In my youth working manual labour jobs I was full of vinegar and wouldn’t wait for the trucking dolly. Older workers taught me to slow down and I took that advice into software work.
That’s exactly how I’d consider experience. You think via systems(which include human interactions) instead of only technical aspects.
I’ve seen teams in really bad shape because the senior engineers fail to provide the right kind of leadership.
