Highlights from our recent events
-
Refactoring LIVE – In conversation with Rands
Luca Rossi sits down with Michael Lopp, aka Rands, to explore engineering leadership in the age of AI.
-
Game time: A playbook to (unsuccessfully) 10x in a week and (successfully) 10x in a year
A candid scaling story about why rushed 10x efforts fail, and how disciplined metrics, culture, and architecture win over time.
