Roger Heim wants the Passion

Welcome to Episode 4 of The Rules of Software Development. In this episode I'm chatting with Roger Heim, Mobile Engineering Manager in Verizon Media.
Roger and I talk about leading mobile teams and the challenges with two different engineering platforms. Roger is looking for engineers with a Passion for what they do and their chosen platform. We discuss how often mobile engineers can have a better understanding of the design principles for their chosen platform than some UX Designers.
We also talk about commit messaging, how to hand Pull Request updates, the value of ownership and collaboration across teams.
Roger gives us a great website and book recommendation.
Software Lead Weekly, is a weekly newsletter for leaders in software who care about people, culture and leadership.
Leading Snowflakes by Oren Ellenbogan, is an Engineering Managers Handbook which gives practical tools and techniques for programmers who want to lead.
Enjoy!!
