Data got loud. Dashboards everywhere. New tables show up every week. Your CDP has more traits than a horoscope. The warehouse bill is a quiet ping that ruins the mood late at night. Yet the same questions pop up in every standup. What does active user mean here. Why does…

Rethinking Metrics in the Age of AI
When machines draft copy and code on the first try, the scoreboard we trusted stops making sense. Rethinking metrics in the age of AI starts with admitting that the old numbers were built for a world where people did all the work and tools only amplified fingers on keyboards, because…
Experience Ops: Where Creative Meets Platform
Every team I meet hits the same wall. Marketing wants speed and bold ideas. Design wants quality and consistency. Engineering guards the platform so the site does not fall over on launch day. We trade favors and accept the bill later. One campaign gets speed at the cost of messy…
Composable Doesn’t Mean Easy
The pitch for composable is easy to love. Pick the best tool for each job, wire them with clean APIs, and swap parts as your needs change. A headless CMS here, a search service there, a cart that does not fight your promo calendar, and a data layer that feeds…

The Human Touch in Automated Workflows
Picture your favorite teammate. The one who ships at 3 a.m., never complains, and still asks for context before pushing to prod. That is how people talk about automation and AI right now, and yet the real ones we run in our stacks do not ask nearly enough questions. They…
Designing Developer Experience Like a UX Problem
Designing developer experience is a UX job with different tools, and right now it can set the tone for your whole product story. Treat the developer journey like a UX flow Developers are users with a terminal window open. They still scan, they still bounce, and they still form habits…
When Engineers Join Growth Teams
When engineers join growth teams, the roadmap stops feeling like a wish list and starts acting like a control panel. A growth squad that blends product and marketing moves faster than any weekly meeting between two separate orgs, because you can ship ideas the same day you think them. The…
