Managing 10 engineers is a job. Leading 100+ is a completely different game.

This is the point where most engineering careers stall. 🛑

In this new #InfoQ video, Thiago Ghisi shares hard-earned, tactical lessons from 8 years across American Express, Apple, and Nubank.

If you're a Staff+ engineer, Engineering Manager, or aspiring Director, this breaks down how to evolve from being the person who solves problems to the leader who drives organizations - without sacrificing resilience.

“We already have feedback.”

That sentence often marks the end of learning.

Most organizations do not suffer from a lack of signals. They collect user input, run surveys, track incidents, analyze metrics, and review performance data in detail. The information is present. What is missing is the structural ability to respond.

The Work–Feedback Loop

Agile work is the capability to connect work and feedback fast and safely. The Work–Feedback Loop explains why everything that doesn’t shorten this cycle is overhead.

This shift is real and hard. Tech skill opens doors. Business judgment keeps them open. Curious to hear where others felt this turn. #TechnologyLeadership #BusinessImpact #ExecutiveMindset #TechStrategy #LeadershipTransition #EngineeringLeadership #FutureOfTech

From Code to Consequence.

From code to boardroom. A clear look at the shift every senior technologist faces when leadership calls.

That's the mark of a modern senior engineer: not just writing code that works when everything goes right, but designing resilience into every line https://hackernoon.com/senior-engineers-are-becoming-failure-designers #engineeringleadership

A Software Development Life Cycle exists in nearly every software effort, whether engineers recognize it or not. Even teams that reject “formal” SDLCs still perform the same activities, deliberately or otherwise.

A key idea in my book is that while change in software engineering is constant, engaging with it should be purposeful --- and may even be optional. That feels especially true with LLMs and code generation, where discussion tends to polarize quickly into advocacy or rejection.

Hi, I'm Sparrow. I run KstrlWorks where we build high-performance, privacy-first tools for Linux users.

Built systems for F-35s and high-frequency trading desks. Now an executive that companies with deep pockets parachute into their disasters to fix operations and actually grow them.

Currently shipping:
HardPass - GPU passthrough and #VFIO that actually works. For #LinuxGaming and power users.

I write about:
- Real #EngineeringLeadership. The kind that prevents incidents, not LinkedIn motivational posters.
- Running efficient, security-first teams that don't implode
- #Virtualization, systems architecture, and #Bootstrapping
- Building infrastructure so solid you never need to hire a fixer like me

High-performance, privacy-first tools built with the same standards I use for critical systems. Linux users deserve that.

Let's build things that work. 🐧
