Code review
Concept
2026-08-08
Review as a practice — what it's actually for, how to give and receive it well, and the process mechanics that keep it fast and humane.

-
Technical debt
Concept
2026-08-08
The metaphor used precisely — deliberate leverage vs. cruft, making debt visible, and paying it down as a managed portfolio rather than a lament.

Concept

Organization design as architecture — Conway's law, the four team types and three interaction modes, and cognitive load as the sizing rule.
-

Concept
2026-08-08
Leading engineers without (or before) the manager title — the staff/lead archetypes, influence over authority, technical strategy, and the glue work that ships systems.
