Short version:I think my biggest failure as a manager was not telling my staff that I considered their boundary point for finished work to be things running in production.Long version:I had a programmer a long time ago who would give me code that quote "worked on her machine" but could not function in production. She had no idea why and would point fingers in all directions than herself.When I ended our working relationship, I made it clear to my new staff that I considered the boundary to be that it would work in production. But what I didn't do was declare the boundary to be that the developers were responsible for it getting to production.I had in fact created the exact boundary I'd wanted to dissolve in the way that the devops movement had talked about in the 2005-2015 decade.#SoftwareEngineering #Operations #DevOps #Programming #SoftwareDevelopment
