How To Criticize Coworkers

I originally wrote this as a doc, and did a talk w/ slides in Fall 2020 at Convoy.

 
This is very focused on how to work in a software engineering team (surprise! that’s most of what I know about!) but I’ve had friends say they’ve shown this to their partners, so I suspect it’s generally applicable.

I’ve given a lot of direct feedback. Sometimes it’s been really difficult to do, like when it’s critical feedback to a coworker I don’t know that well. Other times it’s been fun, like when I remember to actually say out loud “Hey – nice work on that project.” These moments dominate my personal highlight reel from the last five years, because they’ve been great experiences for both of us.

Feedback is a gift. My goal is to get everyone reading this to give more, and more effective, feedback to their peers.
