☀️ While I’m out: A 6-part deep dive on TDD, engineering culture and leadership
A Summer Deep-Dive on Testing, Design, and Teams from our previous webinars and coaching streams.
Hey folks, I’m taking a short summer break 🏝️
But I didn’t want to leave you without something good to think (and rant) about…
So I’ve queued up a 6-part Substack series, each based on a popular coaching stream from earlier this year. They’re hand-picked, summarised, and structured to help you reflect on how you test, how you ship, and how your team works together.
Starting Saturday, July 19, you’ll get:
✅ Testing ideas that either empower or block your team
✅ Rants about mocking, rework, and why we delete tests
✅ Reflections on what good CTOs actually care about
✅ And insights from the field that aren’t in any textbook
This is a good time to subscribe if you aren’t already.
