The shift from “I’m the best person to solve this” to “I’m the best person to help this team solve this” is not a small one.

Technical leaders recognize when a decision made in one part of the system will create problems in another.

One of the most common failure modes for senior technical contributors is the pull toward doing rather than guiding.

One path goes toward management with more focus on “people stuff.” The other stays technical — Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, Architect.

The Engineering Leadership Crisis Nobody Talks About 🚨 #EngineeringLeadership #SoftwareEngineering #PlatformEngineering #TechLeadership #Microservices #SRE
Modern engineering teams are collapsing under platform complexity, AI chaos, organizational scaling failures, and unreliable architectures. This deep technical leadership guide explains how elite engineering leaders manage platform rewrites, reliability crises, organizational chaos, and large-scale modernization without destroying delivery velocity. #SoftwareArchitecture #EngineeringManagement #DevOps #CloudComputing #Leadership -
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 […]https://codeaholicguy.com/2026/05/13/the-new-10x-engineer-with-ai/

A Staff Engineer who raises a concern in an architecture review that causes the team to change course–that’s leadership.

Like surfacing tradeoffs, it requires leadership skills, not just technical ones.

"When a Principal Engineer sets a standard for how code gets reviewed and the whole team gradually rises to it, that’s leadership." https://lttr.ai/AqPjB

Processes like methodologies, CI/CD, and dependency tooling don’t just shape how code gets written. They quietly shape what code gets written — often long before anyone notices.

(More thoughts prompted by thinking about my recently published book: https://www.packtpub.com/en-UA/product/hands-on-software-engineering-with-python-9781835888001)
At some point in most engineering careers, something subtle shifts.
Early on, the job is mostly about writing code: implement the ticket, follow the standards, make the tests pass. That work matters. But over time, especially as systems grow more complex, the center of gravity moves.

The audio version of my podcast with Michael Nygard for GOTO Conferences Unscripted is out now.
We talked about building resilient systems, the real meaning of Conway's Law (everyone forgets the word "communication"), modernising 50 years of tech debt at Sabre, and why we celebrate firefighters over fire preventers.
Michael's insights on technical leadership and organizational design are invaluable.

MAN I can write a blog article with beautiful structure in record time but ask me to promote myself and my Britishness TORTURES ME.
How's thos everyone? Too braggadocious, not enough? Do I seem like I'm lying etc?
Open to new opportunities | Full-Stack Architect & Engineering Leader

The year is flying by, so I'll soon be in #Australia as part of @yow_conf
I'm speaking at their conferences in #Melbourne Dec 4-6 (https://yowcon.com/melbourne-2024), #Brisbane Dec 9-10 (https://yowcon.com/brisbane-2024) and #Sydney Dec 11-13 (https://yowcon.com/sydney-2024).
I'm also running at #TechnicalLeadership Masterclass in Melbourne and Sydney, and tickets are going fast (Melbourne is already sold out with a waiting list).
Will you join me in one of these cities?

Fantastic post on (levels of maturity in) managing performance, by @slightlyoff
> Teams that reach top-level performance have management support at the highest level. Those managers assume engineers want to do a good job but have the wrong incentives and constraints, and it isn't the line engineer's job to define success — it's the job of management.
