Description: Chris Stasonis, VP of Engineering at Lola.com talks about the trajectory of an engineering career, and how to decide at critical junctures - "Stay or leave a company? Stay technical or consider management? How do I become a good (not average) manager?" Chris also (drum roll) keeps chickens and has automated some of the coop life. We talk a bit about the prosumer-ization of flying private airplanes as well.   "Being Geek" - the software developer's career handbook https://www.amazon.com/Being-Geek-Software-Developers-Handbook/dp/0596155409 Author page https://randsinrepose.com/ Reid Hoffman's "The Alliance" https://www.amazon.com/Alliance-Managing-Talent-Networked-Age-ebook/dp/B00JTJ84EW/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1585582216&sr=1-1 The GitHub repo Chris forked for the chicken door robotics https://github.com/ericescobar/Chicken_Door Guide for aspiring software managers https://www.amazon.com/Managers-Path-Leaders-Navigating-Growth/dp/1491973897  "Infinity pools" book https://www.amazon.com/Make-Time-Focus-Matters-Every/dp/B07DHT9BZV/ref=sr_1_1?crid=FP15NXKU2RCQ&keywords=make+time&qid=1585588299&s=books&sprefix=make+time%2Cstripbooks%2C159&sr=1-1 For hardcore airplane geeks https://foreflight.com/
