summary

A clear, specific shortlist: the talk claims technical leadership is act not title and proposes the Trident model of three career tracks (individual contributor, technical leader, manager). It names concrete flavours—knowledge cultivator, advocate, connector, storyteller—and gives historical and engineering examples: Grace Hopper building the A Compiler and spawning Cobol (productivity leaps), Matt Femmel creating CruiseControl and kickstarting Continuous Integration, and the practical Famen technique for teaching.
