Stepping into a new engineering VP role is equal parts exhilarating and daunting. It’s like being handed the keys to a high-performance race car… that’s sputtering along the highway at 80mph instead of the 180mph it’s capable of. Your challenge? Make an immediate impact, rescue floundering projects, and prove that... Read More

When you’re building software products, your tool stack can make or break your process. And process, ladies and gentlemen, makes or breaks timelines (and just as importantly, budgets). Over the last 15+, we’ve worked with hundreds of startups and enterprise product teams, and one thing is always clear — having... Read More

It’s the boring stuff that makes or breaks businesses. Maintenance? Boring. Daily stand up? Boring. Data scrubbing? Boring. But if you’re not doing those things well and often, your product can crumble. We all love to focus on inventions and new features because they’re fun, capture our imaginations and can... Read More

The biggest story in tech right now isn’t massive layoffs… it’s ChatGPT (and Bard, but really… ChatGPT). Will it take all of our jobs? Maybe. Probably not. Hopefully not. Will we end up like Neo in the Matrix? I highly doubt it. But what it absolutely will do? Upend the... Read More

At a certain point in any software product’s lifecycle, the question has to be asked: Is it time for a full rebuild of our software? It may not be in a month or a year or 5 years… but eventually, the question has to be asked. No software product exists... Read More

Developer confidence is a fickle beast. Too much confidence in your development team can lead to a lack of strategic oversight and shoddy QA. Too little confidence, and you’ll end up micromanaging your team to death. But either way, developer confidence is crucial to the success of any software development... Read More
