hockeystick moments are the biggest opportunity of your career. It's exciting and kinda scary. Everything changes! I wrote Scaling Fast: Software Engineering Through the Hockeystick as your guide. 16 years of startup experience condensed into 240 pages scalingfastbook.com

Feels like all I do anymore is code review. Team lead? Review their code Coder? Review my agent's code Principal? Review my agent's code review code Manager? Review their specs Product? Review my stakeholder's specs I wear all these hats and they're all just code review 🙃

Focus and followthrough are the moat
