You're faced with a client request outside your business services. How do you navigate uncharted territory?
It seems to me it all comes down to scope and impact. If the scope is significant and the impact is small, you help find a new option or vendor. If the scope is reasonable and the impact is large, you ensure the team can handle the scope and start planning for derivative products. For example, building a custom PCB might not be worth it unless you can also leverage the design for a commercial product.

How do you lead technical experts as an engineering manager?
I used to have a peer who had come up through being an architect. He knew every piece of the product his team worked on, and he let them know it. In the management meetings, we'd spar because I told him the only way a team grows is if the manager is the dumbest person in the room, and whose main role is to get water and coach the team. That doesn't mean that managers are dumb...I caught bullshit all the time...but my role was administrative and supervisory, and my team skilled and professional. My job was to plow the road so they could race.

This tracks with my experience of general "knowledge" on LLMs. They go up blind alleyways all the time.
