Writing at Scale: AI-Powered Content Creation
300+ Deep Dives: Human-Authored, AI-Produced
AI & Technology
Use AI for First Drafts: Proven Workflow for Real Leverage
Redefine success from perfection to leverage: use AI for first drafts to break the blank page, then keep a human in the loop to refine and ship faster. Measure outcomes and time saved—not error counts.
Overcome AI overwhelm: Four guardrails to keep momentum
In a volatile AI landscape, four clear guardrails—purpose, single lane, evidence threshold, and human review—help cut through the noise and keep teams shipping.
Choose the right AI approach: Start in context, not tools
Stop picking tools first. Start from your role, goals, and constraints so you choose the right AI approach, run a small pilot, measure, then scale what works.
Career Growth
Content & Personal Brand
Personal Branding Without Self-Promotion: Share Lessons, Earn Trust
Engineers build credible visibility by sharing lesson-first insights that help others. It’s personal branding without self-promotion—anchored in contribution, earning trust without selling.
Quality Over Quantity AI Content: The Net Value Gate for Trust and Visibility
When quality over quantity AI content becomes your rule, a Net Value gate ensures each piece adds original insight, builds trust, and remains discoverable.
Build in Public for Engineers: Small Updates, Big Credibility
Build in public for engineers means documenting real progress in small, safe updates that compound into credibility and opportunities. Start simple and keep a steady cadence.
Education & Learning
Engineering Strategy
Improve Decision Quality with AI: Why Slower Starts Speed Up Delivery
AI can slow the start yet speed the sprint. Learn how to improve decision quality with AI by front-loading context, stress-testing plans, and cutting rework.
Design resilient LLM workflows: from fragile chains to fault-tolerant systems
Stop duct-taping prompts and start engineering. Learn how to design resilient LLM workflows with modular steps, observability, quality gates, and safe recovery.
Scaling LLM Applications the Engineering Way: Budgets, Observability, and Architecture Over Prompt Hacks
Treat LLM apps like scalable systems, not prompt hacks. Budgets, observability, caching, model tiering, and token discipline deliver predictable cost and latency.
Leadership
Enforce Standards Without Punishment: The Four-Step Playbook That Builds Trust
Choose lesson-over-penalty leadership with a four-step model to raise standards under pressure. Enforce standards without punishment while strengthening trust on engineering and AI teams.
Scale Impact as Senior Engineer: A 30-Day Low-Risk Leadership Sprint
Past Senior, titles blur. Run brief, low-risk leadership experiments across technical, people, and business lanes to scale impact as senior engineer and find your best-fit path.
Build Credibility with Engineering Teams: Four Visible Moves That Earn Trust
Trust grows when your actions match your values. Learn how to build credibility with engineering teams by owning mistakes, acting on feedback, and advocating visibly under pressure.

How to Ship Imperfect Work: Momentum Over Perfection
Momentum beats perfection. Learn a simple, daily 20-minute MSI approach to ship tiny, imperfect increments, get feedback faster, and keep progress compounding.
The Untied Shoe Rule to Reduce Cognitive Load for Engineers
When overwhelm hits, deliberately defer one low-impact, non-blocking task to protect focus and momentum. A simple untied-shoe rule helps reduce cognitive load for engineers so the highest-impact work moves forward.
When to Ask for Help: The 30-Minute Rule for Faster Engineering Progress
Learn when to ask for help and make it routine: a 30-minute threshold and clear outreach structure turn stuck time into fast progress and shared learning.
