> So your new job is to put them on assignments that will help them grow, provide a safety net if anything goes wrong, and get out of the way.
I talk to my boss about once a week, social hallway chats excluded. Rest of the week I just do what needs to be done.
He mentioned to me soon after joining that he had learned that the less he's in the way of us developers, the more productive we are. So he trusts us to do what we're assigned to do and handle issues that come up. Once in a while he'll come and ask me to handle some specific case ASAP or make sure I know some deadlines, but it's very rare.
