Things you think as a first time founder that just ain’t so:

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

"What if we took 2-3 months to rewrite the whole thing? Start from scratch, fix all the mistakes we know about, and we will have a clean state, all our problems solved."

There's a divide between engineers who thought about doing this, and those who did it, and it's a big one.

Yesterday while we discussed my trip to Ghent, my colleague mentioned an art deco pool near Namur that was converted to be the local library. When losing a pool, I think this is het best thing that can happen, Bibliothèque d'Andenne:

The scariest thing to do as a Founder is to put your product out there. We've spent hours, months, maybe even years working on it. It's beautiful. Perfect.

When you push the great ones, they step up

Tough to get just right

A lot of folks want a map to Staff Engineer, and just as many Staff Engineers want to better understand their role. Towards that end, I'm working on a small project to collect folks' stories of reaching and operating as staff-plus engineers

People don’t just leave managers: they leave shitty oncall rotations as well.

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Should software engineers at all levels lead projects?

Any experienced managers know they should answer "it depends" for any yes/no questions.

My take is that "it depends, but at better companies, they do." A thread on why and when not just tech leads leading works:
