Being the Tech Lead

Deployed to prod. Friday, 4:55.

BEING THE TECH LEAD IS EASY stacks in bold capitals over IT’S LIKE RIDING A BIKE, set between thin double rules. Then the fine print builds: except the bike is on fire, the servers are on fire, we just deployed to prod, and, in terminal green, it’s Friday at 4:55.

It’s for the tech lead holding the sprint together, the senior engineer who has shipped on a Friday afternoon and lived, and anyone who has said “it’s fine” while the dashboards turned red. A gift for software engineers, team leads and engineering managers.
