Today's guest is Dominika Rogala, former VP of Engineering and now advisor for CTOs and tech leaders.
With Dominika, we talked about burnout in engineering teams, on which she did a lot of research. She started with the various dimensions of burnout, which – spoiler alert – is different from simply being tired, and then we looked at the problem from a systemic angle, so how can you improve your team and processes to avoid people from burning out.
Finally, we also talked about AI and how to make it a net positive for your team's resources, without also uncontrollably inflating expectations
