Careers in tech are decided by mechanics most people never see: who writes the packet, who argues in calibration, whose work gets noticed. Each episode takes one of those mechanics apart and turns it into moves you can make this quarter.
I host it as a principal engineer, an individual contributor rather than a manager. I sit in interview loops, review promotion packets and give calibration input, so the show comes from inside the process.
Every episode ends with an open case. If yours isn't covered yet, send it in. It might shape a future episode.
Want me on your show, at your conference or in front of your engineering org? I talk about promotions, calibration, AI and the future of the engineering role.
