New podcast episode for the new year! Why a reflection practice is critical as you move into senior leadership (because no one else is going to be focusing on developing you). You can’t lead others to grow if you’ve stopped growing yourself.

Tech debt isn’t inherently good or bad. It’s information.

Some debt is a smart trade-off
Some is safe to ignore
Some is genuinely dangerous
Some is a warning that leadership systems, not code, need attention

A technical strategy isn’t a roadmap; it’s how you align your team to face the future together.

In this episode of It Depends, I discuss what makes a good strategy, how to document it effectively, and how to keep it alive as your company evolves.
