** Journal
Slept on the couch last night. Nabby was not settling in her crib well, and Emma
said she was on the edge of being sick the other day. So I figured I'd give her
some quality sleep. I still got slightly north of six hours of sleep, so it
wasn't all bad, but I know I'm gonna be tired later today.

Time to get back into a rhythm as well. Jon Noel bailed me out with the soccer
game and practice this week, but now I'm a little worried about the bar he set
with the kids. I probably shouldn't worry, but that's life.

My mentor meeting with Cris this morning was solid. We talked about a lot of
soft stuff before getting into the discussion I wanted to have about product
engineering and the problem of working autnomously while also following along to
product's drum beat.

The conclusion we arrived at was that, as an engineer, the best thing you can do
is speak in product's love language of documentation. Document proposed
solutions so you can make arguments and come to agreements. If you have an idea
for some cool new tool that might make engineering's job easier, you have to
sell it, just like product has to sell their idea.
