Here’s my take on what needs to shift.

Most hiring mistakes start with one feeling: overwhelm. Before you post that job, get clear on what success really looks like.

Hiring Isn’t Solving Your Problems—Clarity Will
Hiring won’t fix your overwhelm—clarity will. Before you grow your team, make sure you're ready to lead well.

I'm taking an app I built as my first attempt at vibecoding and starting over. I genuinely feel so great. I've learned so much since I first started that a clean slate for my first idea feels like a great way to build a better app. I'm already learning new stuff and building confidence. yay me!

“AI allows you to be more personal.”
A bit counterintuitive huh? What do you think?

A PIP isn’t a surprise party.
If your team member didn’t see it coming, you skipped the hard part: feedback.
Here’s how to fix that. 👇

Too many managers weaponise performance plans. In this episode, we flip the script:
Support over shame.
Structure over surprise.
Culture over conflict.

I used "chockers" in a sentence today. I didn't even realise I'd done it until after it was sent. Remnants of living in Australia, lol.

We’ve got a big episode coming your way.
It’s about performance improvement but not the way you’ve heard it before.
No HR jargon. No punishment mindset. Just a candid, people-first take on how to help someone course-correct with clarity and care.

If you’re feeling growing pains at 5–15 people, it’s not a hiring problem—it’s a culture one.
You don’t need an HR department.
You need clarity, consistency, and commitment.

Yeah, #vibecoding has got me hooked. This is way too much fun. I could really use some courses on software architecture and moving from dev to production.

Question: how explicit are you in your php function declarations? Do you add public or not? Should you add public or not?
Context: I saw a TikTok video of engineers debating this and thought I’d ask.

We've got a pretty good cadence of quarterly reviews here at A8c and even if I know things are going okay, I still get anxious before a meeting to review how I am doing. I know it will be fine but there's still that lingering doubt. Getting to a failure-friendly state takes effort but it's worth it.
Scared your next performance review will go off the rails? Learn how to build a “failure-friendly” culture so feedback sparks progress.
