With a few impressive exceptions, software is rarely written by one person. It takes a team and as that team outgrows a single shared office, coordination and communication become emergent problems. There are lots of lessons to be learned from companies that have already found approaches that scale.
In this episode, I interview Tramale Turner, Head of Engineering, Traffic, and Seattle Site Lead at Stripe. We discuss infrastructure, organizational structure, and some insights made at Stripe. It’s an in-depth conversation with useful advice for all stages of the journey of a modern software engineer.
