Peter Principle FTW

After four years doing mostly low-level technical work on Mac OS X as an individual contributor, I’m now an engineering project manager working in the Mac OS X Program Office. I’ve replaced hours of being hunched over in front of my screen figuring out bugs with hours being hunched over in front of my screen sending emails. Ah, and the meetings, let’s not forget about the meetings. All jokes aside, I am enjoying the challenge of working at a high level, collaborating with dozens of managers and hundreds of engineers throughout the company on a multitude of projects. Looking back at my past experience and my interests, I suppose that management was inevitable. Fear not, I’ll still work on the occasional bug to stay sharp :)
