The Constant Life of a Tech Lead
summary
Argues that tech leads face repeatable realities not trends and gives concrete moves: adopt principles outlast tools and keep reading refactoring and the 1972 modularity paper; keep hands in code enough to guide; treat time with the Eisenhower matrix and carve out work that is important but not urgent; stop being a maker and become a multiplier by delegating and growing people; use cultural models (Hofstede), role types (from Wardley Maps) and practice double-loop learning to change mental models rather than just react.
