"Sharing your work as a software engineer inspires others, invites feedback, and fosters personal growth, Suhail Patel said at QCon London. Normalizing and owning incidents builds trust, and it supports understanding the complexities. AI enables automation but needs proper guidance, context, and security guardrails. Suhail Patel presented Shine Bright as an IC: Growing Yourself as Your Company Grows where hespoke about growing oneself as a software engineer."
"Being vocal about what went wrong and how you intend to fix it and under what time frame can be massively helpful, even for the smallest of issues, Patel said. It's all about owning the problem. A good problem resolution can turn into a positive advertisement for the broader context of work. As leaders, we also need to install this mentality into fellow team members, he said."
Sharing engineering work inspires colleagues, invites feedback, and fosters personal and professional growth. Presenting work through writing, blog posts, technical talks, and presentations surfaces assumptions and creates learning opportunities. Normalizing and owning incidents helps build trust and aids understanding of system complexity; transparent communication about failures and remediation timelines turns problems into demonstrations of competence. Leaders should cultivate ownership culture across teams so that good incident resolution becomes positive recognition. AI can automate parts of development but requires human guidance, contextual awareness, and security guardrails to be safe and effective.
