The essentials of building of a strong engineering team and foundational products

Whatโ€™s more important than building the product better?
Itโ€™s having the right foundations. In my opinion the most important job of a technical leader is to keep the core of tech foundation rock solid. The rest will take care of itself.

  2. Technical Debt

  3. Effective DevOps

I have used a lot of different systems and techniques to improve developer productivity and increase throughput. This ranged from Agile, Kanaban, SCRUM, waterfall and what not. Finally I found a system that I think does really well in things faster.

Linear is now my the ultimate way to develop products. Its development methodology tied with a software integrated with Github that delivers results. For us that was upto 4 times faster. I can finally promise a release date. ๐Ÿ˜…

Checkout this beautifully written Linear method to learn it all over the weekend.
