Returning to individual contributor work after eight years in management

I stepped back from an engineering director role to write code again. Here is what surprised me, six months in.

The postmortem template is not the point

Most incident postmortems fail for the same reason: the template becomes the deliverable instead of the understanding it was supposed to produce.

What actually changed when we moved off our monolith

Two years after a real microservices migration, here's an honest accounting of what got better, what got worse, and what I'd do differently.

The interview question I stopped asking, and what replaced it

For years I asked candidates to design a system on a whiteboard. I stopped, because it was measuring the wrong thing.

How are you all handling on-call burnout on small teams?

We're a 6-person infra team and on-call fatigue is becoming a real retention risk. What's actually worked for you beyond "hire more people"?

Negotiating a counter-offer without burning the relationship

Bringing in our first VP-level hire and want their first quarter to actually stick. What made yours work (or not)?

Is a platform team actually worth it at 40 engineers?

Considering spinning up a dedicated platform team. At what size did it actually start paying for itself for you?

Layoffs are coming. What do you actually owe the people who stay?

Every piece I read about layoffs focuses on the people who leave. I want to talk about the ones who stay -- survivor guilt, trust erosion, the sudden workload spike nobody plans for. What has actually

How do you actually decide when a rewrite is worth it?

I have been on both sides of this call -- a rewrite that saved the company, and one that quietly consumed 18 months and shipped nothing better than what it replaced. What's your actual decision framew
