Gad Salner- How to scale a unicorn-building engineering team (and stay sane)
summary
Claims rapid growth from 1 to 25 engineers in a year and later operating near 40 while keeping morale and delivery intact, with concrete practices: two daily syncs including random cross-company pairings, a two-engineer rule per feature, printed one-pagers for problem statements and goals, OKRs and timelines, funded learning and external research, plus an engineering-led task forces model that hands ownership to engineers and a tech-leadership framework to stitch task forces together. Metrics, timelines, and who does what determine success.
