At most technology companies, you'll reach Senior software engineer, the career level for software engineers, in five to eight years. At the career level, your company's career ladder won't require that you work towards the next promotion; being promoted further is an exception rather than expected. This is also when many engineers are first given an opportunity to move into engineering management.

This audiobook is a summary of the advice I’ve given to software engineers over the years–and then some more. This audiobook follows the structure of a “typical” career path for a software engineer, from starting out as a fresh-faced software developer, through being a role model senior/lead, all the way to the staff/principle/distinguished level. It summarizes what I’ve learned as a developer and how I’ve approached coaching engineers at different stages of their careers.

The Systems Thinker's Advantage: Why the Rarest Skill in Software Is the Only One AI Can't Replace AI can write your code. It can't see your system. The software industry is splitting in two. On one side: developers whose value was translating requirements into code — now watching AI do it faster and cheaper. On the other: developers who see the whole system — the feedback loops between technology, organizations, markets, and human behavior — and who thrive precisely because AI makes that interconnection more complex, not less. This book is for developers who want to be on the right ...

No single factor—not sales, marketing, finance, strategy, or operations—has more influence over the ultimate success of an organization than its culture.

Friedman cuts through the fog and provides a clear, practical roadmap for intentionally creating a high-performing culture.

Job posts list more frameworks than you have years of experience. Meanwhile, AI is rewriting the rules of what developers do — and the thinkpieces say you should be worried. Here is what those thinkpieces miss: your experience is not a liability. It is leverage. But only if you know how to deploy it. The Second Act is a practical guide for software developers navigating the career crossroads that nobody...

A lot of Engineering Managers and leaders studied for years and years to become the best Engineer they possibly could be... and then they were promoted. It can be very tough for those of us who didn't go into Engineering with the distinct concept that we would become managers, but still want to do our best to support our teams. I wrote this book because there's so much no one told me about management that I wished I would have known. There's a lot to be purposeful about that many of us learn on the job, and worse: learn on people.
