This is what I mean when I tell people “I don’t get hired to teach you how to be a big company. I get hired to remind you to operate like a startup.” Yes, I hire talented leaders and strong managers. But I also: - Read all the product docs, comment on all the designs - Review…

It's why the true 10x engineers who walk among us are people who consistently bring clarity, simplicity and instrumentation/documentation/observability practices to their teams and the code they own. How fast your team can ship code is determined by feedback loops/deploy cycles,

Two simple yet effective ways to reduce transit costs and finish projects ahead of schedule: 1. Buy train cars from European manufacturers who have experience & economies of scale 2. Use in-house engineering expertise rather than outsourcing to McKinsey consultants

Is the world more dangerous now than it was in the late 1930s? The Second World War? Cuban Missile Crisis? Rates of conflict and violent crime have plummeted. All measures of poverty and hardship are way down. Every year we invent and deploy new means of tackling climate change.
