It is your manager’s job to know when to shield you and when to bring you up to speed. A good manager never lets you get caught off-guard, because that is how you quickly lose great engineers.

I agree that having a good manager makes all the difference, but have never yet figured out a way to get assigned only to good managers.

Yeah, the only sure way is to "move jobs by manager." This is why employees will often follow good managers from one company to another.
