Our goal with this guide

People who made this

We believe that code should not be the only thing open source. Engineering leadership strategies, tactics, and methods should be too. That’s the main goal behind this guide.

On top of that, most engineering leadership books come from one person’s point of view: one CTO, one framework, one way of doing things that worked for them.

We wanted something different. A guide built from 19 different careers, 19 different sets of mistakes, and 19 different ways of solving the same hard problems.

The methodology

  • We looked for engineering leaders with 10+ years of experience
  • We picked people with different cultural and career backgrounds
  • We interviewed each of them one-on-one
  • We focused on topics every engineering leader eventually deals with: hiring, firing, scaling, and structuring teams
  • We asked for the hardest story they had, because that’s when people actually learn something

19

Engineering leaders interviewed.

400+

Years of experience combined.

50+

hours of interview recordings.

And the best part is: it’s completely free.
