Bridging the Gap
summary
Two engineers map six concrete gaps — personality, communication, knowledge, leadership, childcare/remote work and geo/culture — and test practical fixes: use agendas and shared docs, record meetings and rotate meeting times for distributed teams, run regular mentorship and pair programming sessions, normalize “I don’t know” and create a safe-to-fail culture. Examples include a worked-up deck and rehearsal video that surface real friction and process changes that actually reduce last-minute surprises.
