Question

Does Steve Huynh think sending frequent work updates annoys colleagues?

Answered from The Visibility Habit That Got Me To Principal Engineer · A Life Engineered · 2026-10-30

His point is that every corporate email and messaging client has filters, so worrying that publicizing your work is annoying should not stop you from doing it.
