Being glue by Tanya Reilly - lead dev at Squarespace. Engineering team success is not just about showing up and churning out code, sometimes the glue work falls to juniors who don't get properly recognised. Examples of glue work include writing docs, setting up team meetings, establishing coding standards, improving team processes, mentoring and coaching, improving new member onboarding. Even if you're doing the highest impact work, acting in a leadership capacity, and recieving glowing feedback, the company might not consider it engineering work.
