I work in a Fortune 500 tech company in the Bay Area. Recently, I lost my mother to COVID in my home country and had to visit home to perform the funeral etc. Also, I have a young family here in the CA with a 3 year old child in autism spectrum.

I am feeling overwhelmed by the whole situation and need some guidance/pointers on how to cope with this. My spouse is very supportive but we both need some kind of professional help to avoid burnout. Any advice/help would be totally appreciated. Thanks hackers.

I am a new Engineering manager moving from a Sr. Software Engineer. I have a team of 3 engineers reporting to me. All three of them are very good engineers and enjoy their freedom while working for me.

The issue I have is the following: Each of them have their own tech stack when they build services. Python, NodeJS and Java. Now that I am the manager, I want them to move to a unified code base. What is the best way to start this conversation? Ideally, I want all of them to have a python code base so that other teams can easily onboard.
