Highlight Quotes
YARI - Problems when you are not thinking of the bigger picture when making solutions.
“If you have all these duct taped solutions put together because you're kind of building as your team grows without thinking bigger picture. One, you're not getting the cost savings that you think that you're getting. And two, you're also not thinking about the future team members that you're going to be overwhelming.”
YARI - The need for empathy and understanding.
“I think, for me, it comes down to over-communication and documentation. I am very vocal with folks and encourage my teams to be very vocal and transparent about, hey, if you're asking for this, this is how long it's going to take.”
