Was thinking about moderators, and how users always have plenty of opinions about what moderators are doing wrong, but seems like you see less commentary from the moderators themselves about what it takes to do a good job.

Which is probably true across any situation where there’s a smaller number of leaders and a larger number of people in other roles.

Having experienced it, what does it take to lead a project, be a supervisor/boss, board member, pastor, dungeon master, legislator, etc?

    Network engineer. No one thinks we can do our job because the first thing people do is blame the network.

    Yo be a good network engineer you need to be able to troubleshoot everything apart from the network.

      Same. But I’m lucky to be in an industry where most people involved are aware of the difficulties that come with running a highly dynamic network with satellite locations connecting in via VPN over vsat.
