A Tale of Two Managers
Erin
Erin was a newly-promoted manager over a software engineering team. She had been hired 5 years ago as a junior developer and worked on 3 major projects in her time with the company - one of them a multi-year build that moved the company's flagship application to an altogether new stack, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in licensing and infrastructure costs.
Once she was promoted to manager, the normal corporate leadership pressures took over and she of course had a ton of new responsibilities to learn... but within 6 months of her promotion, she was spending her lunchtime building her first AI application because she wanted to see how to use LLMs to find evidence in her mailbox and Slack history for filling out her team's performance reviews.
