Writing about engineering and product.

I run Codebahn. Private Git hosting in Europe.

Also building Duostride, and Valkompasskompassen.

What travels

The novice learns to apply effort. The expert learns where, how much, and when. Only one of those moves with you.

Why I'm building Codebahn

Nobody chose to put European software on US infrastructure. It happened one sensible default at a time.

Legibility theater

When visibility determines what gets valued, organizations get better at looking productive.

The flattening

We had a real problem with hierarchy. We fixed the process. But making the process fair isn't the same as making the outcome good.
