- Architects always get a bad rap when it comes to design documents. We get blamed for delivering these massive solution design documents that take weeks to produce, eat into the time for development and in the end result into an encyclopedia that nobody reads. The architectural...

- I have a love-hate relationship with “the MVP car”, that classic illustration that shows us the RIGHT and WRONG way to build a product. To be fair, I don’t think its creator Henrik Kniberg would want it called “the MVP car” at all. According to his post the whole point of the...

- I spent the last couple of weeks building an AI-driven spaced repetition app. You can try it out here. Spaced repetition Like many software engineering types who were teenagers in the early 2000s1, I’ve been interested in this for a long time. The main reason is that, unlike...

- Dismissing an idea because it doesn’t work in your head is doing a disservice to the idea. (Same for dismissing someone else’s idea because it doesn’t work in your head.) The only way to truly know if an idea works is to test it. The gap between an idea and reality is the work....

- One of the most consistent observations I’ve had in my time in startups, scale-ups, and public companies is that smart people with context on a tricky situation almost always know exactly what they need to do. Teams obsess about company strategy, about data, and about frameworks...
- I’ve been working a lot with service line architecture recently. If you’re not familiar with that; it’s how business units such as IT, HR, or Sales bring services to clients, both internal and external. These structures often mirror team organization. Think of it as a hierarchy:...

- You know that feeling when you’re looking at your competitor’s pricing page and the math doesn’t add up? $9/month. Unlimited usage. Same features as your $900 enterprise plan. Your first thought: They’re burning VC money. Classic Silicon Valley playbook – grow at all costs,...

- Last week, I met a founder who’d just lost a pretty big $2M deal to a 3-person startup with a half-finished product (I call these “3 Stanford grads in a trenchcoat”). He was annoyed they didn’t even have a basic dashboard or settings page. I think he wasn’t angry about losing...
