I’ve spent the last five years immersed in trying to answer two questions: how to build scalable software systems and how to get teams to perform at a high level and build those great systems that exceed expectations.

Over those years, I’ve learned from varied sources: blogs, books, podcasts, colleagues, and my own experience. I will be cataloging my favorite ideas and resources for building, nurturing, facilitating, and leading effective software teams. High level topics will include:

• Hiring
• Training
• Leading
• Processes
• Collaboration
• Self-organization

I will post at least one article per week for the the next year (or more). I will address topics as they hit me. I’ll catalog and index them later.
