    4/ You spend the 1:1 time coaching, unblocking, helping them grow, providing feedback, discussing plans and doubts, etc. Feedback first, then strategic, then tactical. Many managers make the mistake of doing this the other direction. Do 1:1 meetings weekly. 30-60 minutes.

    Yesterday I complained to SVP of software at Apple, Craig Federighi about my Mac Pro being slow post-upgrade. He emailed me back asking for ~300mb of diagnostics. Today, he got back, having analyzed it and with steps to improve. What an incredible company.

    3/ One-on-one calls: Have regularly 1:1 calls with all your reports. The point of these calls is to check in with the person, not the work. What that means in practice is that you don't spend that time reviewing work - you can do that async.

    The cursor + clause hype is real. I had an idea for a cool app that solves a problem I have myself and I built it in 45 minutes, using a fun new to me language. I already bought the domain :)

    9/ Document things yourself. Don't delegate minor documentation tasks if you're directly involved. No one is too big to write documentation.

    2/ First off: being a great manager and being a great remote manager are nearly identical. Most of these tips would directly translate to an office. If you are a good manager in the office, transition shouldn't be hard. I.e. you don't need to smell people to manage them.
