One of the hardest things founders will learn is that they will outgrow the technical team they started with. It’s a hard but necessary conversation I’ve had to have time and time again with clients. This situation happens because founders don’t have much money or experience when they start. They don’t know who they trust. So they bring in the people around them and give them big titles. As the company grows, founders will find that their technical lead no longer fits the company's vision. They cannot keep up with the pace you are setting. It’s stunting the growth trajectory of your company. That’s where an independent third party like SubcoDevs can help— With our deep experience and knowledge of how dev teams work, we identify the problem with the current technical team’s setup. We then offer solutions to founders so their company can continue to grow and scale. For example, finding new players to bring in who are more closely aligned with the company’s goals. It’s about finding the right players to fit your company’s future—not compromising on what you’re doing now to fit the players you grew with.

This isn't news to a lot of folks in my close network but it's time to make it LinkedIn-official that I have moved on from my role as CTO of Code for America. I switched to part-time last August, did some advising (and even a little coding!) through the end of 2023, and have been taking time off since to recuperate from CTO life. Code for America was a life-changing experience. I got to work with some of the most brilliant, empathetic, and driven folks in my career. We worked on wicked hard problems, made a dent in a few of them, helped millions of people get billions in benefits, and built a pretty great organization along the way. It was immensely rewarding, 7 years very well spent. There are far too many people to try to thank individually for that experience -- so many folks I worked with at Code for America and in the civic tech community, funders who supported our work, public servants working tirelessly in government, and people who used our products and services and helped make them better every day. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to do the work with all of you. I'm not sure what's next for me yet, but I’m starting to look around. I definitely want to tackle a mission that matters again. One that’s challenging, and where my skills can make a difference. I’m particularly interested in climate, and I’m starting my exploration there. I love building stuff with a small, scrappy, focused team, so I think I might be looking for a seed or series A startup. Somewhere I can be more hands-on again, at least for a while, and help build a new product and team from the ground up. That said, I’m open to organizations of any size and stage if there’s potential for really meaningful impact. If you know a team out there that has a great mission and people and could use an experienced technical leader who still loves to code and has scaled product and engineering teams from 2 to 100, please get in touch! I’m also learning as much as I can about climate tech right now, so I would love to catch up with folks who are on or have been on a similar journey.

4 Months into working with LowCode and time-saving solutions have never looked so easy 🤩 When I first got offered to dive into the tech world, it felt like a position completely out of my comfort zone. For the past few months, I've been working at LowCode Agency, and it's been a complete game-changer for my creativity and my understanding of the possibilities of problem solving in today's world. If there's one thing that I've learned in my career path, is that INNOVATION TAKES TIME, and time is something that most companies are struggling with nowadays. Time-consuming operational tasks can bog down teams and prevent them from focusing on creative advancements. I am amazed at how low-code can be a game-changer here. By automating repetitive processes, you can free up your team's valuable time to focus on what truly matters - strategic thinking, innovation, and making those big decisions that drive growth. Building custom apps in weeks, instead of the months it traditionally takes with coding, was something that didn't seem like a possibility to me before. Less development time also means a lower investment for giving your business the power to adapt, innovate, and focus on what gets results. I'm thrilled to keep working on projects that allow us to turn business needs into great tech solutions, and I wanted to invite you all to take a dive into how can these possibilities suit your business needs too! Let's keep making decisions that take us one step further into this era of innovation. 🚀

Early-stage founders: Is your desire for a great-looking product actually killing your dev team’s momentum? We took on a client a while back who, before coming to us, wanted the look of their app to be perfect from the start. So, they hired a design team to deliver visuals. That team took almost 6 months to get back to our client. The result? Their dev team was stuck in “standby” mode for a long time because the client insisted they wait for the designs to iterate. The founder had burnt a ton of cash with that team sitting there, unable to make many moves. The founder put the cart before the horse. Here’s how you should view your minimum viable product (MVP) release: It has to be about functionality. Your development process should be centered on how your product works—not how it looks.

Ever thought your lack of tech background was a barrier to launching a successful startup? 🤔 Think again. We’ve recruited within our ranks to help dispute that and spotlight a personal story of our senior web developer Aleš Zorc who began his career as a founder without any tech expertise. His determination led him to learn coding, transforming his career and deepening his appreciation for tech. His story shines a light on the importance of adaptability and the diverse skillset that each team member in d.labs brings to our projects. Throughout, the focus shifts from the challenges non-tech founders face to how they can overcome them and redefine success. The link to Ales’s transformative story is in the comment section below. P.S. If you are a non-tech founder looking for a CTO, let's chat and see how we can help 🚀

I’m excited to share something close to my heart. Please, indulge me. It’s a story of perseverance, vision, and a deep passion for what we do at Beach. Meet 🔥 Forge. Forge is one of the products we’ve built, maintained, and supported over the past 10 years at Beach. It started as a passion project, quietly serving a global community of over 100,000 developers deploying their static sites and web apps. It’s been our little secret—but it’s time for Forge to evolve. I believe it’s time for Forge to tackle one of the biggest challenges facing tech companies today: How to get ahead, stay ahead, and dominate through a culture of innovation and a robust product discovery process. This isn’t easy—there are countless obstacles, and I’ve experienced many of them firsthand. But we’re ready to take on this challenge. Forge is set to transform how companies think, act, and innovate, unlocking massive value for businesses and their customers. We’re on a mission to ignite developer ecosystems and supercharge innovation for SaaS and ecommerce companies. Watch this space—there’s so much more to come! And if you're curious to learn more, well you know where to find me...

❝ Working on distributed software is complicated and It's getting even more complex. I first started thinking about Multiplayer ten years ago, and as an entrepreneur you have to figure out when the time is right to bring a product to market. It wasn't the right time then, because it was too early, but now it's the right time because Multiplayer is solving an ‘every-software-development-team-problem’ ❞ Thank you Armory Square Ventures for hosting our co-founders, Steph Johnson and Thomas Johnson. It’s always a pleasure to talk about our origin story, solving developer pain points, insights into building a great remote engineering team, and so many other topics! 👉 Listen to the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/dK3yzU2v
