Ryan Cheley joins me today to talk about some challenges of managing software teams, and how to handle them.
 We end up talking about a lot of skills that are excellent for software engineers as well as managers.

Some topics discussed:

• handling code reviews
• asking good questions
• being honest about what you can't do with current resources and data
• discussing tradeoffs and offering solutions that can be completed faster than the ideal solution
• balancing engineering and managing
• making sure documentation happens
• remote teams 
  • encouraging collaboration
  • encouraging non-work-related conversations
  • watching out for overworking
