Kung Fu (Startup strategy)
Startup strategy is like Kung Fu. There are many styles that work. But in a bar fight, you’re going to get punched in the face regardless.
I can only teach you my style. Others can only teach you theirs.
This is my style.
“MVPs” are too M to be V. They’re a selfish ploy, tricking people who thought they were customers into being alpha testers. Build SLCs instead.

The 7 Step Onboarding Process to Get Employees Fully Ramped In 2 Weeks
When most new employees join a company, they’re left to fend for themselves. Which means they spend their first few months tentatively stumbling around with their first few projects.
Then the new employee isn’t productive for at least several months.
That’s a huge opportunity cost.
With my teams, I follow four basic principles in order to get new employees fully onboarded within 2 weeks:

Why we re-designed our engineering career paths at CircleCI
Note from the author: this post was written in collaboration with Justin Cowperthwaite, engineering manager, with additional input from Jeff Palmer, VP Engineering.
We want CircleCI to be a place that all engineers can learn and grow, and be supported no matter what level they join us at, or how they want to shape their careers. To support this, we use an engineering competency matrix, a framework that outlines expectations and growth paths for engineers. This matrix is a tremendously useful tool for us: it informs the structure of our job descriptions and our interview processes. It helps us set expectations together with our engineers, is a basis for goal setting as well as conversations about learning and development. It helps us have more objective performance conversations which are less susceptible to the biases and skills of an engineer’s manager. Overall, it clarifies the vision of our organization and helps us maintain consistency throughout all stages of hiring and professional development.

Authors Answer: What are your top tips for working remotely?
Like many of us these days, lots of our authors work remotely—whether from a home office or on-the-go as they travel. So we asked them how they make smart work of working remotely. Here’s what they said:
Jason Grigsby, author of Progressive Web Apps, is a pro at working from a hotel room:
- He always packs a Roost laptop stand, a keyboard, and a trackpad when he travels to survive the bad ergonomics of hotel room desks.
- He also travels with a portable electric water kettle for “coffee-free water” for his tea, plus a supply of Yorkie Gold.
Erika Hall, author of Conversational Design and Just Enough Research, works in San Francisco, but does a lot of traveling and has to work on-the-go. Her top two tips for making it work:

AR Will Spark the Next Big Tech Platform—Call It Mirrorworld
AR Will Spark the Next Big Tech Platform—Call It Mirrorworld
Every December, Adam Savage—star of the TV show MythBusters—releases a video reviewing his “favorite things” from the previous year. In 2018, one of his highlights was a set of Magic Leap augmented reality goggles. After duly noting the hype and backlash that have dogged the product, Savage describes an epiphany he had while trying on the headset at home, upstairs in his office. “I turned it on and I could hear a whale,” he says, “but I couldn’t see it. I’m looking around my office for it. And then it swims by my windows—on the outside of my building! So the glasses scanned my room and it knew that my windows were portals and it rendered the whale as if it were swimming down my street. I actually got choked up.” What Savage encountered on the other side of the glasses was a glimpse of the mirrorworld.

You’re Just Not That Strategic: Seven Objections You’ll Have to Overcome to Get to the Top
You’re Just Not That Strategic: Seven Objections You’ll Have to Overcome to Get to the Top
Bridget Frey
Sep 20, 2016
In my early 30s, a group of executives decided to overhaul the strategic direction of my team, and I wasn’t even in the room. One day, my team was working on a certain project, and the next, we were working on something else.
I was a trusted manager and engineer. I’d built a great team that had shipped a bunch of hits. And I had plenty of ideas. So why wasn’t I at that meeting? It stung. But now I know one reason I wasn’t included is that I just wasn’t providing the type of strategic thinking that the execs needed to make a decision.

Dream in years
Plan in months
Evaluate in weeks
Ship daily
Prototype for 1x
Builder for 10x
Engineer for 100x
What’s required to cut the timeline in 1/2?
What’s required to double the impact?

Why Managers Should Take Notes
Why Managers Should Take Notes
“I have a very specific management style. I put my team in charge of it all.” He said as he put his feet on the table, leaning back with his hands crossed behind his head, elbows out to either side.
He didn’t believe he should take notes, and believed his hands-off approach allowed, “a very specific kind of person to thrive.” The rest, as he put it, “weren’t a fit to my management style.”

Fully remote organizations, or Frogs, are quickly emerging across all categories of knowledge work. From software to social impact and fashion to financial services and everything in between, these Frogs are popping up and winning the talent war against the incumbents. With that advantage alone, they are growing much more rapidly and will soon dominate the marketplace.
(more…)The Never-Ending Now
Instagram. Snapchat. Twitter. Facebook. You name it. We live in a “Never-Ending Now.”
A story for you: Earlier this year, I attended a comedy show at The Stand with a handful of digital natives (my term for the post-millennial generation). The comedy club was across town so we split an Uber SUV. I sat in the back. You know… all the way in the back of the SUV, where the seats are so narrow that you have to do gymnastics just to fit back there.

How to begin the invisible work of change management
Someone once said to me “you’re good at change management” and I was like, what?
I sat with the idea for a couple of weeks and eventually realized: Oh! That is what I do! I take teams that are struggling and help them focus, align, and start delivering at their potential, i.e. change management.
The thing about change management is that it involves a lot of invisible work that’s hard to follow from the outside. The two things that people see in change management are the change (toward the end, if they are paying attention) and when it goes (sometimes horribly) wrong. Here are some lessons I’ve learned from the change-management trenches, whether as the manager or the changee.

I was greeted today by headlines that Facebook turned 15 years old on this date. I feel old just saying that, especially when I remember also having Friendster and MySpace accounts.
Before Facebook became the enemy of the people undermining democracy and selling out their users, they were a company to marvel and admire. I remember distinctly the moment when I knew Facebook was going to take the world by storm.
