  1. Technical excellence alone isn’t enough to grow your impact or your career!

    To reach the next level, Senior ICs need a different set of tools.

    Netflix’s Kasia Trapszo shares how to master:
    • Influence without authority
    • Cross-team trust
    • Imposter syndrome

  3. The new 10x Engineer with AI

    The idea of the “10x engineer” has always been a bit controversial. Some people see it as a myth. Some people see it as a harmful label that creates hero culture. Some people have worked with engineers who clearly create much more impact than others, and believe the idea is real. I sit somewhere in the middle. I don’t think a 10x engineer means someone who writes 10x more code than everyone else. That version of the idea was never useful to me. Writing more code is not the same as […]

  8. AI agents let me start more — and starting more is not delivering more. I sat down to improve one occupancy algorithm last week and ended up with seven microservices, 1.5M tokens spent, and a research trail I never used. All I needed was an improvement to the original.

  13. Boring code isn't an aesthetic preference. It's an organizational symptom - and it shows up in the version control before any retrospective.

    The commit graph is the org chart asserting itself.

  17. Nobody designed the system. It accreted, one reasonable decision at a time.

    A cache for performance. A config service for flexibility. A second API gateway because migration kept getting pushed.

    112 boxes later: 40% of the engineering budget on maintenance. Features are taking weeks instead of days.

    The Complexity Trap is structural. Five recognizable patterns. A way out.

  19. Managing 10 engineers is a job. Leading 100+ is a completely different game.

    This is the point where most engineering careers stall. 🛑

    In this new #InfoQ video, Thiago Ghisi shares hard-earned, tactical lessons from 8 years across American Express, Apple, and Nubank.

    If you're a Staff+ engineer, Engineering Manager, or aspiring Director, this breaks down how to evolve from being the person who solves problems to the leader who drives organizations - without sacrificing resilience.

  20. “We already have feedback.”

    That sentence often marks the end of learning.

    Most organizations do not suffer from a lack of signals. They collect user input, run surveys, track incidents, analyze metrics, and review performance data in detail. The information is present. What is missing is the structural ability to respond.

  21. That's the mark of a modern senior engineer: not just writing code that works when everything goes right, but designing resilience into every line hackernoon.com/senior-engineer #engineeringleadership

  22. A Software Development Life Cycle exists in nearly every software effort, whether engineers recognize it or not. Even teams that reject “formal” SDLCs still perform the same activities, deliberately or otherwise.

    (More ruminations, not #Python specific, sparked by my recently published book: tinyurl.com/HOSEWP2)

    #SoftwareEngineering #EngineeringLeadership #CareerGrowth #TechnicalJudgment

  23. A key idea in my book is that while change in software engineering is constant, engaging with it should be purposeful --- and may even be optional. That feels especially true with LLMs and code generation, where discussion tends to polarize quickly into advocacy or rejection.

  24. Hi, I'm Sparrow. I run KstrlWorks where we build high-performance, privacy-first tools for Linux users.

    Built systems for F-35s and high-frequency trading desks. Now an executive that companies with deep pockets parachute into their disasters to fix operations and actually grow them.

    Currently shipping:
    HardPass - GPU passthrough and #VFIO that actually works. For #LinuxGaming and power users.

    I write about:
    - Real #EngineeringLeadership. The kind that prevents incidents, not LinkedIn motivational posters.
    - Running efficient, security-first teams that don't implode
    - #Virtualization, systems architecture, and #Bootstrapping
    - Building infrastructure so solid you never need to hire a fixer like me

    High-performance, privacy-first tools built with the same standards I use for critical systems. Linux users deserve that.

    Let's build things that work. 🐧

  36. Agile Bible, Verse 5:

    “Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.”

    Now tell me, when every process, idea, stakeholder, task, OKR, strategy, tool, framework, micromanagement, team structure, and team requirement comes top-down…

    What exactly are you doing to ensure every individual has the environment and support to deliver their unique value and impact?
    (Spoiler: The value and impact is not equal to your role. Shocking, I know.)
