After years of writing about product, leadership, and scaling, I’m sharing the full catalog of all my posts (ordered so you can read them straight through). When I started writing these, it was mostly to clear out my brain by organizing the random info floating around in it. But I also had an idea in the back of my mind: the career guide I never had. I longed for a little book of shortcuts where, whenever I had a problem, I could turn to the right page and get a quick recommendation and a reminder that everything would be fine. I made a list of all the things I wished I’d realized earlier in my career, all the lessons that took me years (and way, way too much angst!) to learn. I wrote them down as letters to myself so I could remember those lessons later, and shared them in case they were useful to other people too. That list evolved into what you see here: The "Hard Parts of Growth" catalog. It includes career growth, managing people, product principles — everything I’ve written about over the years. You can read it end-to-end as an overall guide to growing in tech, or turn to specific tactics for a problem you’re facing right now. My hope is that these lessons give you a few useful shortcuts for whatever you're facing, and (more importantly) a reminder that growth is supposed to feel hard and messy. That’s normal, and you've got this. Now that I’ve worked through my initial list of lessons, I’ll probably slow down posting for a bit as my mind fills up with new things to write about. But I'm sure I'll be back soon with more stories and hot takes 🙂 Thank you for joining me on this journey! It means so much to me 🙏🏽♥️. The full catalog!The career growth playbook I wish I had
