The segment regarding Quality being a Leadership Choice really resonates. It’s rare to see a leader prioritize craft and quality as a core leadership pillar rather than just a technical byproduct.
Zero bug policy... absolutely no idea how that's even feasible
Spending half a year building a synchronization engine before any product is a luxury almost no one has. Product market fit should be the sole goal for most startups until it is achieved. Unless of course the engine is core to the needed functionality for the app
I have worked in startups, created a few tech companies, sold two ... but TBH the best time I had was working in a Cxx adjacent role in a high tech. Great work, great money.
another gem of a podcast Steve! Thank you for sharing. With everything AI nowadays - it was pleasant to see more focus on engineering and how AI compliments, not the other way around.
This video might have mattered in 2023 but it has no relevance in the new world of AI
I can hardly get over the philosophy of QUALITY FIRST at Linear. Very refreshing listening to the CTO speak to this.
I agree with the 'Quality' argument - but - primarily aimed at staff quality rather than product quality. You need the Tall Poppies : high energy, high agency, high IQ, wide experience both horizontal & vertical, not risk averse, very averse to bugs etc, totally focused on product reliability. In my experience you are best off hiring via top headhunters/executive search .. and NOT by placing adverts etc. Expensive, yes .. but it's great only seeing relatively few candidates who have been thougougly vetted and recommended.
I was promoted to the 12-person CEO's team at a Smartphone manufacturer. I was given a novel / esoteric job title .. but only as an afterthought ... the title has to have gravitas but is otherwise relatively unimportant.
With our current implementation of AI the perception of time is hard.
