I really liked the part about engineering committing to force multiplication of the other parts of the business. Once in a senior data engineering role I took it upon myself to just teach the PMs SQL and let them start running their own analyses, with regular weekly 1:1s and office hours. It totally wasn't my job but it saved me twice the hours I normally spent responding to their ad hoc requests, allowed some wild hairs to turn into actual profitable products, and hopefully stimulated some professional development.
