I've been working with and leading tech teams for over 12 years. It took me a long time to find what's in common between the engineers who contribute most to the company. They're not necessarily the smartest, those who write the cleanest code or the best architects. What makes the difference is how much they understand the product and the business goals.

• Why I believe half baked PRDs with open ends is the best thing for developers
• About building a holistic team where developers are a part of the product, marketing and customer success
• How to become more product oriented.
