Which qualities in a person lead to great code? I used to think it was raw intellect, technical know-how, or breadth of knowledge. Slowly but surely, this sentiment faded, and my opinion shifted. Nowadays, I believe the key to great code is empathy. Empathy the key to great code? What’s this guy talking about? Allow me to explain.

The last year has been a hard one for the technology industry, which faced its greatest waves of cutbacks and layoffs since the dotcom crash at the beginning of the century. As 2024 begins, we're seeing the early signs of a turn-around, which hopefully means technology organizations will soon be thinking of hiring again. Should such happy days return, firms will again run into the common problem of taking too long for new hires to become effective.

How do you lose the AI race? By not entering. So says Andrew McAfee, principal research scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management. “When a technology this powerful comes along where you have to learn by doing, finding reasons not to do it is a pretty big error,” he says. Despite the mass embrace of generative AI in its first year of release, most organizations remain cautious about mass adoption.

The cost of services is on everybody’s mind right now, with interest rates rising, economic growth slowing, and organizational budgets increasingly feeling the pinch. But I hear a special edge in people’s voices when it comes to their observability bill, and I don’t think it’s just about the cost of goods sold. I think it’s because people are beginning to correctly intuit that the value they get out of their tooling has become radically decoupled from the price they are paying.

However, data collaboration platforms can help address these challenges.

Many leaders become territorial and overprotective of their teams, client relationships, and resources to preserve their ability to succeed. It’s not uncommon for talented leaders to compete internally with their peers for people, investment, and attention; in fact, it’s often that individual drive that made them successful in the first place. However, when you’re looking to scale your leadership and reach the C-suite, this “fend for yourself” mentality will stop you in your tracks.
