most of this makes sense but I think what would make it more useful is more focus on topics that mainly fall under project management: building relationships with key stakeholders, establishing early+clear communication channels, building in timeline slack, how to navigate management politics etc. i dont think shipping in big tech cos is significantly different to shipping a large construction project in terms of project management, but rather there is a tendency for managers in big tech to be significantly less tenured and hence ignorant of basic management priniciples that lead to easily avoidable blunders.
