I had a great time attending the Wheelhouse CTO Summit held at the NASDAQ a few months ago.
There were a lot of really great talks by some of the top engineering leaders in NY. Here’s one by yours truly:
Some of the topics I cover:
- Companies at different stages need different skills from successful engineering leaders. (2:30)
- Everyone knows that as the company grows you’re expected to make the shift from a technical manager to a people’s manager, but what does that mean? (starting at 3:40)
- What’s the difference between speed and agility, and why are we moving so slowly? (8:45)
- What is Conway’s law, and how can you use it to your advantage? (12:02)
- What can architectural patterns teach us about product teams and organizational structures? (12:37)
I would love to hear your feedback in the comments.
