Dailey Missives

Recently we announced an MCP server for DocDB.

One of my favorite podcasts (EconTalk) recently interviewed the author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups, Colin Fisher.

“Whenever you find yourself saying something for a second time (to a second audience or in a second situation), it is highly likely that you will send up saying it again and again in the future.

I have a love/hate relationship with LinkedIn.

This serves as documentation for my future self as well as an explanation that might be useful for others.

2024 Retrospective (Creo) When I ended my time at Stratasan in March of 2023, my original goal was to stick to a lighter working schedule that allowed me to spend more time with my (rather large-ish) family.

My transition from lead developer to engineering manager to lead of leads took shape over about a decade.

A few weeks ago, I asked on LinkedIn why there aren’t more companies in the Southeast started by engineers.

Since leaving Stratasan (acquired by Syntellis) in March of 2023 I started out doing some advisory and technical due diligence work for investors.

From 2011 to 2019, the engineering team at Stratasan (where I served as CTO) worked from home at most once a week.

After wrapping up more than a decade at Stratasan, I’m now working with startup and early stage companies as an advisor as well as providing technical due diligence to investors.

I read a recent post from Roy Rapoport titled, “Being Right Doesn’t Matter.”

As I am nearing the end of my tenure at the company I co-founded a decade ago, I thought it would be useful to share some of the books that were influential to me as I went from engineer to a lead-of-leads.

(I used to blog at dailytechnology.net and will keep the old Jekyll-based blog around just for historical purposes.)
