      Peter Bhat Harkins Retweeted Dan Luu

      An unmentioned reason large corporations have boring blogs: if they're good at management, they create a coordination problem. ICs with clear goals, metrics, and attentive oversight won't have free time to contribute to the "public good" of the blog.https://twitter.com/danluu/status/1237691338222522369 …

      Peter Bhat Harkins added,

      At a high-level, the compelling engineering blogs had processes that shared the following properties:

* Easy approval process, not many approvals necessary
* Few or no non-engineering approvals required
* Implicit or explicit fast SLO on approvals
* Approval/editing process mainly makes posts more compelling to engineers
* Direct, high-level (co-founder, C-level, or VP-level) support for keeping blog process light
      Less compelling blogs had:

* Slow approval process
* Many approvals necessary
* Significant non-engineering approvals necessary
  * Non-engineering approvals suggest changes authors find frustrating
  * Back-and-forth can go on for months
* Approval/editing process mainly de-risks posts, removes references to specifics, makes posts vaguer and less interesting to engineers
* Effectively no high-level support for blog

      This reminds me of something else I'd like to write about, the importance of having organizational slack to allow for work that exists outside of pre-planned quarterly or annual goals. I've discussed this indirectly at times, but I don't really have a post "about" this.

          That came up hard in our last two weekly retro meetings.

          It has to be more than just slack or freedom to explore, there should be loose incentives or other derived benefits to it

          Some slack at the individual level makes sense as well
