Listened to Why building a strong culture of engineering is worth the effort by The Debrief by incident.io
Post details
Whether you’re a seasoned company with 10+ years of operations, or a startup that’s just getting off the ground, making sure you have a good culture of engineering is really important.  Not only will this have a significant impact on the folks on your team, it’ll make a big difference with hiring. When everyone knows that your company is the place to be when it comes to culture, attracting really good talent becomes that much easier.  But I was curious, what do some of the folks at incident.io think about engineering culture in general and how to best build it? Better yet, what about the engineering culture at incident.io? What’s it like? To answer all of these questions and more, I sat down with Lisa Karlin Curtis, Tech Lead, and Alicia Collymore, Engineering Manager, to get their perspectives on this incredibly important topic. We chat about what “culture” even means, why diversity is important, how teams can make sure their engineers feel empowered to share their perspectives and a whole lot more.

Listened to Ep. 1: How heroes kill culture by Always an Engineer
Post details
In this episode, Asim Razzaq defines what is toxic heroism in the field of software engineering. Many engineers do not see this trait, and for Asim, it is important that he shows how this trait manifests and how it could affect the performance and output of a company on a long-term basis. [01:37] Problem of Hero Hailing Engineers [02:50] Why it gets Toxic [03:17] Asim’s Experience [07:18] Solution Going Against Morale While it is important to credit engineers for all the daily tasks and solutions they provide for companies, it is still important to check in on them and see if these little success stories aren’t going to their head. When someone is afflicted by a “toxic hero” state of mind, they’d often take shortcuts or rely on small and temporary wins, these achievements are materialized externally to a point that how they think is always right. This, in return, creates a bad environment for colleagues who may be discouraged to work as a team or craft new ideas to solutions, which may not be aligned with the aforementioned “hero's” point of view. Taking a Step Back When you feel like these wins are getting to your head or if you notice that your colleagues are no longer contributing ideas to your group huddles, then it is definitely time to take a self-evaluation on whether or not you are creating a toxic hero environment for your workplace. The sooner you identify these signs, the better it is to help reconnect with your team. Got questions or suggestions for future episodes? Just visit www.alwaysanengineer.org
