One of the best investments as an engineering leader is mentoring. A single conversation today can shape someone's career for years. Who was the mentor that shaped you most? #engineeringLeadership

Cool trick to build your own #AI pipelines:

Some AI images literally ship the recipe in the file 😅

Run:

"exiftool image.png"

...and check the Prompt field.

Doesn't work on all, but when it does… it's awesome

Surprising how often it works

Over the past few years, Team Topologies has been a game changer for me. Restructuring teams, clarifying contexts and reducing cognitive load. But its never "plug & play", you need to adapt it to the personalities to avoid friction without hurting performance.

How have you adapted it in your teams?

Leadership isn't just about directing, it's about being genuine and purposeful.

When you lead with authenticity, you inspire trust, foster real collaboration, and create a team that feels connected to the mission. How do you stay true to your leadership values?

Sometimes I wonder if Design Systems are like gym memberships for teams... everyone loves the idea, few use them to their full potential, and the real gains come when you put in the reps.

💪 Build it. Use it. Refine it.

That's how your components stay in shape

Me reading The Five Dysfunctions of a Team:

✅ "Yes, that’s so true"
❌ "Wait… not in Japan"

Super interesting book, but we might need a local version:

The Five (Culturally Appropriate) Dysfunctions of a Japanese Team 😅🇯🇵

It's goal setting season 🎯

Finding the balance between personal growth 🌱 and company priorities 🏢 is already tricky.

The hardest part? Making it something people actually care about ❤️

How do you make goal setting engaging and meaningful for your team?

We're living a critical moment in #SoftwareEngineering , and we owe it to our interns to give them a real playground to explore and grow with #GenAI. Their fresh perspective can shape what's coming next. Think twice about which project you will assign them.
