This question has haunted me for years. And it seems I’m not alone. Many
people experience this same insecurity. They desire to know if they’ve made it. 

Dealing With Impostor Syndrome as a Software Engineer

When building a startup, you have many options for software development. Whether you hire a team of developers, outsource to an agency, or find a CTO. While all of these options are viable, if you find a CTO with the right tech expertise, you’ll have gained a key player to help you succeed. But remember, if you pick the wrong CTO you won’t survive long — you may not even make it to launch.

The Axial Age saw the independent rise of multiple societies, each with their own set of religious and cultural practices. The silk road arguably marked the end of the Axial Age, connecting these previously isolated cultures together in a network that traded not only goods and germs, but also ideas. 

Ethical AI: Who Watches the Watchmen?

In the previous article, we looked at the macro trends that make tech debt inevitable. However, even though tech debt is a fact of life, technical bankruptcy doesn't have to be. So this time, let's look at the methods we can employ to avoid technical bankruptcy and save everyone a lot of grief, time, and money.

 4 Simple Habits For Engineering Teams To Beat Technical Debt

If you’re already a Brian Solis reader, get ready for a surprising turn. And if you’ve never read a Solis book before, his eighth and latest is the one to start with. Lifescale: How to Live a More Creative, Productive, and Happy Life <a href="https://hackernoon.com/brian-soliss-new-book-premiered-at-sxsw-here-s-why-it-should-be-on-your-spring-reading-list-a375c697681a">launched at SXSW in Austin last month</a>, and it promises to help us wake up from our tech-addicted comas and rediscover creative, empowered lives.

Lifescale: The Antidote to Our Tech Addicted, Digitally Distracted Lifestyle

This <a href="http://www.commitstrip.com/en/2018/09/24/trolling-the-ai/" target="_blank">particular episode of CommitStrip</a> pretty much represents the popular take on AI. Mind you, “popular take” is, as usual, not the same as “realistic”. After all, <a href="https://dieswaytoofast.blogspot.com/2018/08/deep-learning-and-security.html" target="_blank">when you’re designing robust systems, one of the very first things you’ll do is correct for signs that are missing, misplaced, or mis-identified</a>, and if/when self-driving cars actually make their way into the real world, one of the things that they will be is robust against errors at multiple levels. Heck, that’s pretty much the way humans work — our vision is pretty seriously fallible, but we correlate a lot of other information to make sure that we don’t f**k up!

The *Real* Threat of “Bad AI”

Most people in the tech <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/industry" target="_blank">industry</a> don’t really fit the “meathead” stereotype.

Blockchain And The Keto Diet: How Tech Is Changing The Definition Of “Meathead”

I understand how the trappings of tech culture seem alluring. Perhaps it’s the open office spaces, the ping pong tables, or the ubiquitous bring-your-dog-to-work policy.

A Stroll Through the Minefields — The Alchemy of Surviving the Startup Ramp Up

Tech is an industry of stories. I mean moreso than manufacturing or agriculture. There’s a narrative to a company’s growth. Don’t be evil. A narrative to an industry’s development. <a href="http://me.dm/r-dfE80jUYo4?source=email-anon_a9287aa73ed1--publication.newsletter" target="_blank">Bitcoin, what is it good for?</a>

Tech is an industry of stories.

First and foremost, I look stupid in t-shirts. They over-accentuate my square shoulders and broad, flat chest. Their non-tailored and flimsy fabric makes it look like I’m smuggling a jelly roll in my waist. Women’s fit t-shirts are the worst. In their attempt to fit women, they are so snug under the armpits, they make sure I sport perpetual pit stains.

I don’t want to wear t-shirts anymore

A few years ago, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/28/magazine/what-google-learned-from-its-quest-to-build-the-perfect-team.html" target="_blank">Google decided to research what was the key ingredient that made some software teams at the company more successful than others</a>. Much to their surprise the key trait that was most correlated with successful teams wasn’t technical prowess, personalities or the educational background of the team members. Instead it was the notion of psychological safety — “ a shared belief held by members of a team that the team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking.’’

Psychological Safety, Risk Tolerance and High Functioning Software Teams

Of course, these aren’t questions that most of us worry about. We generally don’t believe that our jobs will disappear anytime soon.
