CTO and team builder. Helping engineering teams scale smarter with the right people, not just more people. Host of Debugged Agenda 🎙️ | @CH2Solutions

[Jason Short | CTO @JShortCH2]

When a hiring manager finally realizes I actually know what I'm talking about, they always say the same thing:
"Oh. We could have skipped the last 5 minutes."
That's because I've been a CTO.
I know your stack. I know your pain.

[Jason Short | CTO @JShortCH2]

The question that changes everything
isn't “How do we do this faster?”
but “What becomes possible now that wasn't before?”

Most orgs haven't asked that second question yet.

I talk about this a lot on Debugged Agenda.

What are you seeing in your space?
I am curious what is actually changing on the ground.

I sat down with John Basso, an expert advisor; we talked about the threat most companies are not thinking about.

It is the startup that just launched with 10 people doing the work of 50.

I wrote a thread on what that actually means for engineering leaders right now:

[Jason Short | CTO @JShortCH2]

The question CTOs should be asking right now:

If a 10-person team can do what we do with 50, what is our actual competitive advantage?

[Jason Short | CTO @JShortCH2]

Part 2 of my conversation with John Basso is live.

We talked about why some companies move fast through transformation, and others freeze.
It is not resources. It is not strategy.
It is trust.

Trust is often overlooked, but it is one of the most pivotal pieces of true innovation.

The best teams aren't built by hiring more people. They're built by designing the right structure.

I wrote something about it. Let me know what you think.

Something drops tomorrow.

I started The Debugged Agenda because the conversations that actually matter in engineering leadership never make it to a conference stage.

They're too honest. Too specific. Too real.
Episode 1 is almost here. Guest: John Basso.
Catch it Wednesday.🎙

[Jason Short | CTO @JShortCH2]

A CTO I replaced had not submitted a tech budget in 3 years.

His reason: plans change, so there is no point.

That is not bold. That is a leadership failure.

The best CTOs speak business as fluently as they speak code.

6 - That's a different question. And it leads to very different decisions.
More next week. 👇

[Jason Short | CTO @JShortCH2]

Engineering is no longer linear or static. A thread. 🧵

[Jason Short | CTO @JShortCH2]

5 - The question that actually wins: "How do I build a team that can change when I need it to?"

[CH2 Solutions @CH2Solutions]

10 years. All word of mouth.

That's not luck.

That's what happens when you do things right.
