What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

“It's probably a little recency bias, but I've been recommending What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Murakami, which talks about introspection about the similarities between running and writing as sort of flow states and very meditative things. So I had read some of his fiction books and the autobiographical reflection on these types of either professions or hobbies I think is very insightful. So that's one. And then one of my longtime favorite books is A Fine Balance by Mistry. And that is just a great story of human complexity and challenge and relationships. So I'm drawn to both books and TV and film that are about humans.”

I think the best people want to know there's going to be a blameless retro and they're going to feel so individually responsible that they're going to say, "How do I make sure this doesn't happen again?

It's a thing going back since the beginning of time, that storytelling has been a key part of community, and social networks, and human feeling and connection. So, I love the idea that technology can amplify that and can bring that to life in very new, novel, exciting ways.

I wouldn't spend too long in the questioning state, because then you're stuck, then you're not making forward progress. But I think that helps people to think in terms of systems, and question that, are we solving the right problem in the right way that matters for the end consumer?

" But every time we saw that and we added more process, we spent more time without getting better outcomes. And so, it's another unnatural thing that I think everyone's inclination when things are hard and complicated, is you think you're simplifying the problem by putting a lot of constraints around it.

I feel like the way that has shown up in career ladders and how we talk about it evolves almost by the quarter, if not month or day, because the tech itself is advancing so much.

" But that impact is extremely promising and we're seeing lots of productions leverage different tools, some of them built in-house, some of them that we enable through other vendors for those content creation use cases. And then as we think about how content comes to the product, I mentioned localization, subtitles and dubs, but also how we create high quality trailers, images, artwork at scale that then we can use to help make sure that titles find their audiences around the world.

I think there's a difference between being able to write lines of code in a particular language, like Python or C++ and understanding how code, computer systems, products work.

We're solving the right problems in a way that is best for Netflix members or business stakeholders. And that if I talk to an engineer, a data scientist, a designer, yes, they speak more languages now than they used to because they have the benefit of these AI tools, but there's still something that is not replaceable when I think about the craft and how they think about what good looks like.

" So, it's an anchor and an entry point for a conversation that can go lots of different directions. And the thing I like about it is it's good hygiene on feedback and checking in on how things are going and forcing a tough conversation sometimes, instead of shying away from it.

" Not, "Could I spend another 20 hours to make it look like everything's perfect in this document?" And so I think in that sense it's not just excellence, like you wrote the perfect document, I should probably be careful to not use that as the only example, but instead we really got to the outcome we wanted to get to because we were thoughtful about it and we put a lot of energy and time and iteration into making sure we got to that outcome.

I think that that uplevels the whole organization because it means that we're able to be truth tellers or to be curious in a way that might not fit if we had a different organizational structure.

I would say the biggest thing that changed is probably the amount of context switching and the degree to which I feel behind or I have a lot to learn. And I felt like I had a lot to learn in the VP of data and insights role that I was in before in part because we cover a lot of different areas of the business and there's always people to learn from, but the engineering organization just takes that to 100 basically.
