Good advice. I’m sure a lot of us at some point wished their managers could’ve read something like this.

WRT: Repeating yourself, I think it depends on the topic. If you’re trying to encourage good habits or behaviour that isn’t picking up quickly, repetition can help sway the mindset.

If a developer is annoyed with their manager about repeating certain things, there could be many different reasons, but it could also be a developer problem.
