What to expect here?

In the DevEx Nuggets, I share my thoughts, insights, and ideas on developer experience, organizational development, and related topics such as engineering leadership and company culture.

Why do I do what I do?

My goal is to help startups achieve peak developer productivity and experience.

I believe that people are intrinsically motivated and want to do their best possible work if we treat them like humans.

Most of what is known as leadership advice, management tips, and business 1x1 is based on the assumption that people must be managed, controlled, and supervised and that we need hierarchies to accomplish anything meaningful.

As we know today, this assumption is wrong. We do not need hierarchical companies with top-down control structures to achieve outstanding things at scale.

There is a better, more respectful, and more enjoyable way that puts humans at the center of what we do.

Through my writing, hands-on advisory, and training, I support organizations and individuals with the mindset shift necessary to make this a reality.

Because of my expertise in software engineering, leadership, and developer experience, I focus on engineering teams and software startups and how to improve their experience and productivity.

Higher employee experience inevitably leads to higher employee engagement and motivation, yielding higher product quality, customer success, and business success.

I write to think, explore, and help.
