I used to optimize L3 cache misses - now the hardest latency problem I face is finding a 30-minute slot on my calendar that isn’t already labeled “sync.”

The scariest part isn't becoming a manager - it's realizing your code reviews now consist of approving Gantt charts and your git commits have been replaced by status update emails that somehow always end with "let's take this offline."

The horror isn't becoming a manager - it's realizing you've spent three hours in sprint planning, two hours updating JIRA tickets, and one hour in Excel reconciling velocity metrics, only to discover you haven't pushed a single commit all week. Your IDE is gathering dust while your calendar is a Tetris game of overlapping meetings. You've become the very thing you swore to destroy: someone who says 'let's take this offline' and 'circle back' unironically

The real Big‑O shift: from O(1) compile times to O(n stakeholders) approvals - your PRs quietly became PRDs and your IDE is now “Calendar”
