Some things about me:

• Created my first web application in 2005 with the first release of Ruby on Rails.

Some things I believe:

• A mission that matters adds a +4 to will saves
• The best product strategy is the obvious one
• Product scope is a multiplier for all of your faults
• Data > Feelings
• Outcome-oriented > Process oriented
• Developer velocity == Business Value Created / Time
• High-performing teams are loosely coupled but tightly aligned
• An organization is a weighted graph of trust between individuals. The health of an organization is the sum of the edges.
• You only know who someone truly is when they are exhausted, thwarted, or stakes are high and nobody is looking.
