> So... how do you handle this?

Here is some practical advice

It seems like an expectation from your current management and you being a principal engineer they expect you to follow whatever their current policy for the team is. Either convince your manager about your stand or just go with the flow. You don't have to come up with original post every time. You can simply repost/retweet or "like" other's stuff.

Based on my experience all these kinds of initiatives are temporary and likely to change or lose relevance over time. All of this will stop if you get a new management in future.

How does one do this with social media?

Half-ass some tweets and blog posts until people stop asking?

Or try to write the smartest tweet ever and spend 12 paid hours on refining the wording?


Just retweet or reshare your friends or coworkers posts if you can’t or don’t have time to come up with something original.
