Yes, have worked in startups, tech (as SWE), and academic research (computing), and found the article posted above to resonate with my experiences: take it easy, trust your team, build and get results.

Having said that, I've recently started managing and have no idea how best to do it. I'm emulating what I have experienced (laissez-faire it seems), but wanted to read me.

Thanks for the link!

Edit: just realized you're the author of the blog post, oh hai! I've read most of the posts on the site following this HN link and I really enjoyed the style of writing. Great work!
