Looking for Engineering Stories for New LeadDev Series, DirectorPlus

Bill Doerrfeld | May 30, 2024

ðŸ“ĢI'm looking for sources to interview!

Are you a VP of engineering, director of engineering, senior software engineer, CTO, or in a similar role with a cool story to share? Or do you work with someone? Please send them my way.


Excited to announce that I'm helping LeadDev kickstart a new series geared toward engineering leadership, DirectorPlus. It's be a monthly newsletter featuring on-the-ground case studies straight from today's engineering leaders on the cutting edge, authored by yours truly.


DirectorPlus features one case study each month. So far, we've featured actionable interviews with engineering leaders at Netlify, GitHub, Bloomberg, Intuit Mailchimp, Slack, with more on the way.


I'm excited to dive into stories across the software engineering spectrum, like:


☁ïļ Cloud repatriation or migration stories

ðŸ—Ģïļ Journeys with new programming languages

ðŸĪ– Deploying, scaling, and securing new tech like gen AI 

🧑‍ðŸ’ŧ How engineering leaders are enhancing dev experience

🏗ïļ Stories of adopting frameworks or approaches, like Wasm

🌐 Overseeing new DevOps and platform engineering initiatives

😊 How teams are maintaining morale and avoiding churn

... and much, much more


Thanks a lot to editor Scott Carey for helping bring this to fruition. We already have some awesome people in mind, but I'd like to get more interviews on the calendar! If you have any ideas, feel free to reach out. You can get in touch over email or through my contact page.

MCP shines for indeterministic workflows, novel integrations, and giving AI coding agents context on the fly. But for more predictable automation it may be overengineeering.
