Most of the time, yes. I'm working within a corporation, distributed teams, just leveled up from dev to overseeing our team. Had to deal with a lot of issues, both technical (no docs, crappy code, too much knowledge we don't have and takes time to investigate, etc.) and managerial (our team is always behind, always wrong, they're always right, etc.) but among those things I find myself motivated to improve our environment. To help with investigation and domain knowledge as much as I can, to reduce the burnout and 'manage' team's frustration, to mentor the group of interns, to improve technical stack, to became an independent and performance team, etc. I'm still in my early days of this leadership experience and I'm very unsure of what, how and if I'll succeed but at least every morning I'm rushing to work.

Looked through first project from Boost, alphabetically ordered, and found Accumulators. Seems a nice project where templates are used extensively. Thanks for ideas.

'Simply pay the subcontractor for their time'

I had previously experiences where I paid for their time. And in turned out that having the monthly salary and working remote it's not enough to keep a minimum pace on advancing through tickets. I want to avoid this situation.

Yeap, seems that Electron is good and fancy way, especially when I see (use) apps like VSCode or Atom. Maybe Slack is using in Electron, too, for native Windows and macos apps?
