Insights on engineering leadership, software development, and building high-performing teams.
Sonatype counted 454,600+ new malicious npm packages in 2025. pnpm and Nx are the defense that survives contact with engineers — because it's also faster.
Assertiveness is the right default for cross-functional leadership — but the same trait that makes you decisive makes you prone to climbing the Ladder of Inference too fast. Here is how to stay assertive without becoming overbearing.
Org-wide AI adoption isn't a tooling problem; it's an enablement problem. How R&D welcomes everyone to prototype while still owning production.
Artemis II astronauts came back changed. Emergent AI capabilities also cross thresholds that surprise insiders. Does the parallel hold, or break on embodiment?
AI PRs have 1.7x more issues than human code, but the real risk isn't quality. It's skipping the production experience that builds engineering judgment.
Leaders speak 150% more than their teams — and then wonder why nobody listens. Here's how to break the standoff where everyone's waiting to be heard first.
Elite teams deploy 182x more often — not because they code faster, but because they learn faster. How Conway's law and AI tools reshape engineering velocity.
A customer-obsessed technologist's path from aerospace engineering and support to VP of Engineering, and lessons from building successful teams.
