Becoming an engineering manager is not just about climbing the ladder. It is a complete shift in responsibility. You are no longer measured by the code you write or the tasks you complete. Now you are accountable for how the entire team performs. You can delegate work, but you are still responsible for results. If no one owns a problem, you do. That is not an extra detail, that is the job.
Working with cache can drastically improve the performance of an application, especially when dealing with data that doesn't change too often. While Laravel provides solid support for caching through multiple drivers, it doesn't offer native support for cache tags. To work around this limitation, we'll integrate Symfony's Cache component, which brings tag support and fits well into the repository pattern we've already established. In this article, we'll build on the existing structure and focus on using cache tags to group and clear related data more efficiently.
Your MySQL database/tables can get corrupted due to certain reasons. When the database is corrupted, you may fail to open or access the tables in it. Sometimes, you encounter random corruption-based errors, like Index for table ‘.\\mysql\\user’ is corrupt or Table ‘.\\mysql\\user’ is marked as crashed and should be repaired. In such cases, you need to restore the MySQL database to regain access. In MySQL, you can restore the database tables using different recovery methods. In this article, we will explain how to restore the MySQL database using the ibdata1 file.
Managing a startup isn't the same as managing a traditional company. Things move faster, roles shift often, and structure can be more of a goal than a reality. What works in a bigger or more stable organization often doesn't apply. People wear many hats, context changes every few weeks, and there's a constant need to adjust. In that environment, knowing how to manage yourself and others becomes less about control and more about adaptability. This article looks at how to stay effective and useful in that kind of setting, even when everything feels a bit chaotic.
Nowadays, businesses are demanding a robust solution. That has a combination of power, security, and a cost-effective solution. DedicatedCore offers a preinstalled cPanel/WHM ready VPS server hosting platform to boost your website's performance. This is where cPanel VPS hosting is stealing the spotlight. With its intuitive control panel in the virtualized server environment. That has revolutionized website management for the developer.
Engineering management is one of those roles that looks simple on paper but feels very different once you're in it. At its core, it's about enabling others rather than measuring yourself only by your own output. You're not just writing code or solving problems directly anymore. Instead, you're creating the right environment for your team to do their best work, keeping them aligned, and helping them grow.
OpenAI has surpassed $10 billion in annual recurring revenue, according to a company spokesperson. This milestone comes less than three years after the launch of ChatGPT. The reported figure includes revenue from consumer-facing products, ChatGPT business offerings, and the application programming interface. It excludes licensing income from Microsoft and large one-time agreements.
The more responsibility you take on, the less your job is about your own output. For engineers who step into management, this can feel unnatural. You're used to solving problems directly, writing code, and moving fast. You may even know the exact way to solve something, and it can feel frustrating to slow down long enough to explain it to someone else. But that's the shift.
One of the biggest traps for any team is confusing progress with movement. It's easy to stay busy, harder to stay focused. As managers, part of our role is to help our teams create value fast enough to learn, but not so fast that we lose direction. This is where the concept of the MVP, or Minimum Viable Product, becomes a practical tool for alignment and learning.
As engineering managers, one of the most powerful tools we have for guiding teams is the OKR framework. OKRs help translate big ambitions into clear, measurable work. They connect high-level objectives with concrete key results so teams know both what they are aiming for and how progress will be measured. They provide clarity, alignment, and a sense of purpose.
