The last 2 times I joined companies with existing teams, I shared this document. It goes through how I work as a person. I try to be upfront about my own limits and biases. I did not invent such a format, but I don't see it enough IMO. stan.boyet.me/How-to-work-wi…

How to work with me?

It’s a document I usually share when getting started as a CTO in a new company. I believe it helps everyone, myself included, figuring out how to work together.

CTO, a bullshit title? A member of my team asked about wether going to a business event was part of my job as CTO. You can fit whatever you want behind this title, so here's my take on what it means and how I navigate it. stan.boyet.me/CTO-bullshit/

CTO, a bullshit title?

CTO is a one-size-fits-all title, from glorified engineer to slides-pusher, everybody makes up its meaning. Is it really that bad?

The app I work on generates ~30K PDFs a day (rendered from HTML). Currently it's using a very erratic and resource-heavy puppeteer microservice for that. There's got to be a better way to do it in 2024, right?

When I became a Google Domains customer many years ago, I did it b/c I trusted Google. Google has now made me - and 10 million other domain holders - Squarespace customers. No consent asked, no reasoning given. Google prints money yet sold Domains. I can no longer trust Google.

Just found out about linen.dev/, is this finally what small communities have been waiting for? With the downfall of Reddit, the rise of chat-based communities & the limitation from Slack & Discord... An SEO-ready melting pot of all of the above sounds exciting.

UI feels barebone but from the marketing website, I'm guessing it's on purpose. I kinda dig it. Who needs custom colours? Certainly not a color-blind like myself 😎

One thing missing: profiles. On large communities, I struggle to remember people based only on a 20x20 profile pic and a nickname. Great product, I'll see where and if I can use it cc
