When Kubernetes upgrades win, product work loses.

This article digs into that trade‑off:

(1/2) New engineering managers tell me everything they need to do - better 1:1s, feedback, strategy, stay technical, career development, stakeholders. But they rarely talk about what they're going to stop doing. You can't do it all.

If you're choosing a track based on safety or salary, you're missing the bigger picture that once you pass Senior its mostly the same.
