It's certainly a spectrum. 1<>1s and vision alignment meetings are super important. Standups too, if that's your thing (I like them, but they must be run well). A lot of other stuff can start to get noisy in my opinion.

As usual: it depends. I don't think you have to drink the hustle koolaid to succeed. I think individual output/hr. follows a power law distribution like most everything else. A lot of younger founders work crazy hours to overcome

I think about this a lot. "Managers" are under pressure to make sure their teams are meeting goals/deadlines/whatever, so they are anxious, so they make efforts to observe and oversee "performance". Seeing peop

I cofounded a startup (bractlet.com) that uses IoT data, thermodynamic simulations, and other technologies to optimize building energy consumption. We've prevented around 10,000 tons of CO₂ emissions, which equates to many millions of

I wouldn't say the lower the better. A lot of bass music is written in keys around E/F since that places the root note just within the lower end of audible range. Most sound systems don't respond much below around 20 Hertz, a

We've just started using Atlassian Compass ( https://www.atlassian.com/software/compass ) for our software catalog, but it appears to be much less featured than Backstage. We're taking a look at replacing it wi

I use Strap ( https://github.com/MikeMcQuaid/strap ) to manage everything and it works pretty dang well for me on macOS. Homebrew brewfiles were a game-changer.

My understanding is it's generally un-curable since it's such a deeply rooted and ingrained coping mechanism for the ego. Like an addiction. But if I had to guess, someone would probably have to deeply work on true self-compassion

Maybe consider a Staff Engineer type role at an established and well-respected firm? Still mostly IC if you can land the right role, I think, but more focused on the meta stuff that enabled the whole team like tools and automation. Would lo

I think this is very sound advice. But it can be equally effective (and maybe even more fun) to careen a prototype through the problem space as quickly as possible to see what comes to light. Even if I can't solve a problem this way, I

My favorite example of late is http://royal.io . You can purchase a token (NFT) that represents fractional ownership in the licensing rights of a musician's song or album, and also comes along with other perks (such as free
