Team Formation, Hiring & Culture

Building inclusive, multidisciplinary teams can be hard whether improving an existing one or forming from scratch. By bringing engineering and product management expertise, I can help you build and improve high-performing teams with industry best-practice from sourcing, recruiting, on-boarding all the way through to delivering value at scale.

Heart Motif

Penetration Testing

Shield Motif

Security is an area of technology & business development which is broadly misunderstood. The risks in technology estates alone tend to be far broader than people understand, and many organisations are being caught out everyday by increasingly advanced threats. Working independently or with you and your teams, I can help you find and mitigate your risks.

Architecture Consultation

Designing software to effectively meet our user and business needs is hard: There's so much noise around patterns, technologies and tools that it's easy to forget what's really important. Technology tends to be presented as a solution before we discover the problem.
As user-needs and organisations evolve, the approach that worked yesterday might be a blocker today. From microservices through to mobile applications, I can help design/adapt architecture and its design process to empower everybody and to work for your business.

    Getting past CloudFlare

    CloudFlare is a wonderful thing. An excellent DNS provider coupled with a hosted "intelligent" caching reverse proxy? Sign me up!

    Moreover, some of the functionality offered up by CloudFlare can only be described as awesome - From the ability to project a WAF over your entire site, to automatically minifying all static assets, to even offer a proprietary ESI alternative in the form of RailGun.

    CloudFlare has powered my site, that of StormBit, the Pomf.se hosting service and countless others that I've been involved with over the past few years and all without a single hitch. Alongside saving us bandwidth and offering lighting-fast DNS updates, unlimited DNS entries and flexible SSL, it has also kept sites serving content even when they have been down, or under heavy load. With CloudFlare I can honestly say that small websites finally have a way of ensuring sites don't suffer the Slashdot effect.

    However this is not intended to be an advert for CloudFlare. Rather I have been hit with their "I'm under attack mode", which is all well and good when one is actually under attack as it almost completely negates the ability of bots to hit applications and make away with precious bandwidth. Unfortunately I'm not quite a bot, and instead of trying to steal bandwidth or steal email addresses, I'm trying to scrape information (for playlists) from websites which is at least a tiny bit less insidious.

    Motivation!!

    Last week I skipped writing up and publishing any weeknotes. It was by choice and I feel uniquely empowered to have been able to do this: If I stick to the routine I’ll be setting myself up to fail when I inevitably am unable to publish one week. “Don’t break the chain” is a popular method for building and maintaining habits, popularised by Seinfeld, however I find that loss-aversion tactics have the opposite effect on me: After an initial spell in which I am biased to paying time and attention to the habit I am trying to build or avoid, I find that a single uncontrollable loss/failure won’t only break the streak: It’ll break the entire pattern of behaviour. (“Fall off the wagon”, for idiom friends).

                This week has been one of battling through extremely severe jet-lag. My brain has been like jello. What’s most frustrating is the research and prep-work I tried to avoid the worst effects by attempting to acclimatise ahead of the flight and by deliberately minimising my sleep on the plane to make sure that I’d be exhausted. IT DID NOT WORK.

                • Jetlag is a symptom of chronobiology. Us humans are diurnal, meaning we adapted to live around the pattern of solar radiation, normally 24 hours. When we disrupt this, even one system (like say, the digestive system) going out of sync can send every other one haywire. Even if you think you're fine, jetlag will probably have affected you in some way.

                                • Spring is here! I left the office on Monday and for the first time all year it was still light. I tied both of my Martenitsi onto a tree that was blossoming directly opposite St Pauls, and then made it my mission this week to convince others to add theirs to the same tree. My mission was successful. It is now the Martenitsa tree.
                                • Went on a tour of the infrastructure supporting our office on Wednesday. The amount of behind-the-scenes work going into keeping the building running is just incredible and in particular the climate-control: Some of the chonkiest machines are controlling variables like CO2 balance, humidity, temperature and more are all continuously across many small zones for all five tiny floors.

                                    • This was a Tanzwüste kinda week. Melodic and cheerful.
                                    • Wednesday evening was a real highlight. I can only gush about how delightful it was and how delightful the crowd was, but that's not what you're here for so I'll gloss over that. Thanks for organising, R!

                                        However as many sensible people cautioned us: This current era is a marathon, not a sprint. For me 2021 was when I hit the wall, a few tricky experiences (arising from lockdown & remote-everything!) genuinely hurt - but I’ve moved on. Oh, and along the way I also somehow killed a bonsai tree. :(

                                        The year felt long, and yet now in retrospect feels incredibly short - but there’s a lot to unpack.

                                                • Monday started early with a hectic call with Egencia and finished with me repeating history in 2019 by going straight from lunch at Côte St Pauls to Sofia, via Heathrow. The Lizzy line made it significantly less stressful. But the flight was 2 hours late so all that stress came right back when we landed at 1AM and I couldn't find a cab. That bit didn't happen last time.
                                                • What brings me to Sofia this week is to work in-person (again) on the product coexistence problem. We've spent a long time examining architecture for the general case of deploying features across teams, and for a product pilot that we're kicking off next quarter. The approach we're taking and evaluating will involve writing contracts, allowing systems to include components from other systems, and so far it seems like a sensible, pragmatic cut-back approach to micro-frontends.
                                                • Also lots of progress with the exercise to enrich interactive content on FT.com. We had a small workshop to pitch an OKR, and my group pitched a really simple idea that allows us to spend several weeks prototyping the right developer experience before embarking on deeper integration. It sounds like that'll be happening next quarter and I'm really happy about it.

The process itself is actually great and I'm enjoying how far it's come since the days of endless spreadsheets and Salesforce. What's confusing is the specific arrangement I'm pursuing where I can't find any one person who can tell me what to do or how to do it. So this week you may call me Josef.
                                                                • Soon I start working on the problem which I've previously referred to as the “Product Coexistence problem“, which through reframing has become about pragmatically introducing support for extending front-ends. It's exciting and should result in pushing technical boundaries in a constructive way. I'm excited about the implications for one-shot content, like, say, the interactive charts we publish.
                                                                • Last week when I mentioned I was coming down with something, it turned out that I had mostly-asymptomatic Covid, which I wouldn't have caught without routine testing. Other than a sore throat on Saturday I didn't have a single trace. Goes to show that testing helps. And this net trend towards milder symptoms is probably a good thing?

Quality Assurance as a role in a team seems to go through cycles of being undervalued when it’s identified as slowing things down, and then being overvalued when people notice a reduction in quality: I’ve just gone through this cycle myself and am now enamoured with the principles of agile QA (as described in Jeff Patton and Peter Economy's User Story Mapping).

FT Expert Series. It's a brand new service built from the ground-up, featuring industry experts Lily Cole, Mary Schapiro, Paul Polman and Leo Strine who present educational courses on ESG (Environmental, Social & corporate-Governance). The journey to get here has been really exciting and we've all learned a lot ("write-ups pending") - but if you'd like to learn from these brilliant people, you can get 20% off all courses using the promo code: FTNETWORK.

Since I left, several people have come and gone, but the dynamics and aura feel exactly the same and everybody is as lovely as I remembered. One particularly emotional nostalgia-fuelled moment late in the week had me fighting back tears — a first for work — so that’s fun.

As the two most established London teams, Customer Products & Internal Products combined our monthly team-wide showcases to welcome them. I’m glad we did it if only to see how different teams organise & run similar cultural events. And so far it’s already given rise to at least one inter-departmental table-tennis feud and/or tournament.

Both during the snapshot, and later in an impromptu one-on-one, that is a level of multi-lingual mastery which needs to be seen to be believed. Meanwhile, nearly Wanikani level 3 - huzzah.

After Anna ran through the strategy and its background, and the other technical directors added their insights, we split out into break-out groups to discuss the the two most impactful areas of the strategy.

This week it was covered with snow. I don't think this is how spring is supposed to start, but, for the few hours it lasted, it was beautiful.

Strangely the industry prioritises growth over everything else. But improvements to organisational efficiency and efficacy (eg in acquiring/retaining users) "lowers the floor" in ARPU (annual revenue per user) which seems just as effective as growth. Maybe I'm unique in finding this exciting?

The theme was AI and we had just over a day to try and build something interesting. It was loads of fun!

To enable our hack, I wrote a cursed integration between google sheets and our internal LLM. We managed to create a few videos but it's nowhere near ready for prime-time: we didn't win, but we did get a few laughs and a shout-out from the judges!

I worry that I went too in-depth with the technical details, and now reading the Agile Comms Handbook I'm considering how to better brand this work - both to describe the short-term (which is intentionally small!) and the promise of the long-term.

Also after contributing for years, for the first time one of my donations got announced out in front of 100k people: It felt weird.
                                                                                                                                                                                                • During the work week, the recently formed API Rationalisation team ran a in-person office-hours where they talked about their current thinking. Really cool, not only because it’s similar to the approach we took in FT Specialist and it’s always nice being validated, but because their communication style is brilliantly engaging & transparent in a way unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Hoping for an eventual write-up!

I spent Monday morning sitting in a cafe finishing the Agile Comms Handbook, my honest takeaway is that it's great. At the start there's a core premise of how to structure comms, then the remainder is a mixture of guidance and practical steps to make it work. All the talk of tea made me regret the coffee I paired it with.

Sort-of. We succeeded to do some training on satellite photographs, but it's still missing some of our hyperparameters so we can't tune much. They should be in a file, or in an environment variable, but they're appearing in neither. So there's a light sprinkling of hardcoding happening until we sort that out.

Bias for action and all that. With the year starting out the way it did, I've felt like suboptimal physical & mental health have held me back. Ahead of planning/reviewing/refining full personal objectives, I'm making decisions towards an intentionally vague theme I drafted last year. This month's priority is getting back on track.

Even with a hundred-odd kanji memorised, we've deliberately started with the basics, following a highly-structured approach because last year's feedback left me very aware that I don't sound natural. Next stop: N5.

I built a new tool for idempotently managing DNS records within a zone, and have hooked it into the same CI process which manages and distributes server configurations, meaning that now DNS is completely democratised. I’ve written up some of the reasoning and methodology here.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        • Monday marked my birthday, which was a pretty relaxed affair. Had a nice lunch (Nanban!? In the UK!?) followed by some cake. I got a watch and a sketchpad, as well as far too many kind messages to reply to in any decent time.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        • On Tuesday I walked through Wimbledon, and was wired up to a 5-lead EKG for a 24-hour test. You wear it around your neck, and it continuously monitors the electrical activity in your heart. It’s odd wearing all these cables on your chest, amongst other things you hope you’re not sending scary vibes. It’s probably the closest I will ever come to wearing a wire.

It brings a kind-of existential clarity to your priorities and your life. The (usually) sleepless night before really helps in setting the mood to answer such difficult questions as “What am I even doing with my life?”.

We ideated and diverged in all the ways a good design sprint should and wrapped up with a series of case-studies including Observable, Svelte at the NYT and web-components in mid-2010s Methode. Next steps are deeper dives into the tech and orchestrating some kind of reconvergence.

It’s also pointer to the wealth of excellent resources that now exist.

Several years later, some of the talks feel less relevant but I cannot understate how excellent & helpful it still was.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            When I talk about scalability here, it's a wider focus than avoiding hard bottlenecks in the form of networks. It was not something which I expressed very well, so I will try again: Scalability in a technology project also includes aspects of how theses systems work for an entire team, and frankly, in traditional IRC set-ups this is an area which is very lacking.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            It requires a team to have access to the systems they need, as well as the operational knowledge to maintain them, all while keeping tight security. It's a very tight balance and one I don't think any open organisations have proven that they manage very well: In fact, an appearance of stability usually hides one or many key-man dependencies behind the scenes, and a lot of (hopefully documented) institutional knowledge.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            In general terms this is manifested by service disruption, and in IRC, by frequent netsplits.

Writing this from the tiny desk in my tiny hotel room.

Monday and Wednesday I crammed in a lot of and writing to ensure all the things would keep going.

We met at a vendor office in Shoreditch to retrospect over the year and examine topics including our technology strategy in more depth than we usually can. We don't spend much time together as a team, so on top of the day itself I enjoyed having a natter. We closed with 2 Truths & 1 Lie and I managed to fool the room which, you know, I'm not sure what that says about me but there we go.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    • One of my teams did a design sprint this week, and on Thursday afternoon I was invited to the "jury" to feed back on their ideas - some of which seemed like novel iterations of things we already had, and some of which were just fantastic ideas that really might push how journalists tell stories. Felt pretty hyped afterwards!

This was a particularly short week as I've started taking time off until the end of the year. It's crept up quickly - all the plans of doing travel this year have been quashed by the reality of pricing. So instead I'm trying to write a bit more, make music and go for slightly longer runs. Chasing those endorphins, literally.

This week I used it to learn about cache-strategy implementation. Seriously powerful, but I wish there were friendlier ways of using it.

Many of the talks were really fantastic and it's probably unfair to call any out because they were all rather good - but particular standouts included guest speakers from Nikkei, Kara playing a modular set and Lee baking the best babka you've had in years.

And walked, ate & drank a lot. And took some photos.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            • Really nice seeing family in person after delaying in December, and finally exchanging Christmas gifts: My sister got me a chess timer which I’m thrilled about.

What hurts in a bad way is my ego: I’m really down on my times from 2018, when I last did this. Hmm.

Weeknotes are something that have been quietly popping up, and they’re essentially a journal-style blog post reflecting on a given week. They can be as personal, or impersonal as the writer likes. There’s no fixed cadence, so missing a couple of weeks here or there is no biggie, but they’re great ways of reflecting on a week. I’ll be starting by taking some of the ad-hoc notes and links I normally jot in Bear throughout the week, and running from there.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      • Speedcurve and WPT are fantastic for debugging problems, but Puppeteer on its own might be an even better Swiss-army-knife for improving WebPerf (especially in local environments): Michał Janaszek has a great article on the subject with useful examples and I love this candlestick chart comparing different scenarios against different network states.

Better to explain the reasons why something is hard, framed in a way that makes sense to that particular person.

Writing this particular point entirely for myself.

Picked up a left-field assignment that had me running around the building to speak to different departments, skimming research papers and writing a Jupyter notebook - all with a slightly stressful deadline that I barely hit - genuinely energising in a good way.

With difficulties in getting around by train, I've been working remotely from assorted Birmingham coffee shops. Last time I did this was apparently December 2019!

Starting to think that putting secrets in the cloud was never a good idea.

From an author known for OKRs, it’s a book with case studies and an action plan for tackling climate change. The website includes much of the same information and an interactive tracker for each objective.

Did you know babies born on February 29th are called Leapers or Leaplings?

There were some real zingers on show, but only one stood out. Coming home one day I saw Miles Kington’s infamous line: “Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad”. In that moment I realised the difference.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          • Years later, with these words still echoing in my head, I still over-index on knowledge over wisdom. I don’t really know why. Maybe it’s impatience? Wisdom happens over time.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                • Granted there are multiple classes of documentation - and I think they are all important? This week I've been only reflecting on where to draw the line in applications logic.

Pumpkin spice lattes are over. This weekend I’ve been reading web standards in the rain.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    • Highlights at work this week included several away-days. We opened one with a vulnerability exercise: Bringing in deeply-meaningful personal items and telling their (really our) stories. We closed the day reflecting using Lencioni’s model and all cited the opening exercise as having been a big boost.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    • Consecutive away-days compressed the time available for other work. The rapid oscillation between the safety of away-day conversations & now-pressured (already difficult) day-job activities made this week one of the most confusing all year.

There's power to figuring out what's bothering you, west-winging it and then trying to work through it. Highly recommended. Bias for action is coming back, slowly.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          • This week started with a live-coding exercise with one of our journalists. Quite often technologists will shadow or do various business processes (famously, Nandos encouraging people into kitchens) - so flipping it on its head is a bit novel and I hope we pulled it off? Maybe we can do more?

I've pared back the scope to just enabling deployments, and am trying to be as unopinionated as possible about what is actually deployed, because research has proven that opinions are a big ongoing investment. In the coming weeks the new team (which also gathered for the first time this week) breaks ground, but we need to better socialise this first.

I can’t tell if the editing is just like - really good - or if this cast of characters are genuinely this erratic & incompatible. It's all Rowan's & Alice's fault.

But the four day long weekend is worth celebrating in its own right. Why don’t we have more of these?
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            • On Wednesday I went to a sake-tasting by Takara brewery, where after a brief lecture on the production & grading of sake, we got to try four pretty different varieties. I’d never had sparkling sake before and, considering how cheap it is, it’s delicious. Move on over champagne.

I’ll miss you Jake, really.

While writing I'm drinking my first (and maybe last) latte and can already feel the power of being so, so basic surging through my veins.

It's very energising reading about their progress (and I love the occasional deep-dives).

So far I'm really enjoying it. Dynamic Island is a joy. Unfortunately I have one gripe: The always-on screen is really distracting, so, I've started laying it upside down.

She had a point-of-view set-up reminiscent of some of my favourite YouTubers, but, much unlike them she had designed something that was much more beginner-friendly - including a smaller rack with fewer modules & colour-coded patch cables, all very nice touches. The slow campaign to persuade more people over to techno, synthesis and production is making steady progress - congrats Kara!

Ten has been something of a magic number to me: After having seen John Allspaw and Paul Hammond's talk on the subject and after having read Gene Kim's excellent Phoenix Project, ten seems like a number at which point deployments stop really being a problem - It becomes the point at which developers feel like they have full autonomy over shipping their code.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    First of all some context: Around midday on Thursday, my team received a notification that for legal reasons, certain changes needed to be made across an entire estate of web products by this weekend. Those changes were trivial, but their complexity was expounded by the fact that they needed to be separately applied to ten distinctly different products. Altering the various codebases was relatively easy, and aside from a slight hiccup with a third party vendor we were quickly able to get those changes out of the way.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    That's not what I want to talk about. Instead, I want to talk about how to go from having barely achieved ten, to making it a boring norm.

And I finally have walked out with a diagnosis and a treatment plan which I won't talk about much yet. But importantly, the anxiety is waning. And once again I can only thank the NHS.

They're difficult to version and test, and with relational databases you're already getting complex aggregations happening inside the query and data-mapping layers! Major kudos to the engineers who figured this out and repaired the database schema.

There's something quite nice about chatting to technologists about what they're doing, what we're doing and where they might find a fit at the FT. Exhausting though.

I hadn't had much exposure to Rakugo but always imagined it to be quite dry so nearly gave it a miss. Very glad that I didn't, because it was incredibly fun - and might even be a highlight of the year. Katsura Sunshine did an intro and told several stories, including Jugemu (relatively short) and I think I'm now hooked. It turns out there are several English-speaking performers now - so definitely something to check-out in a theatre sometime.

The last real all-nighter I pulled was in 2019 to get to the same airport lounge, to catch the exact same flight. How weird.

The solution takes you back to fundamentals, and back to maths. Inductive proofs hold the answer. This was very energising.

I really wasn't looking forward to the cannula but it was all fine, and the nurses added and removed it without leaving any bruising - which is a genuine first for any of the needles stuck in my arm this year. The contrast dye made me feel nauseous — unfortunately I didn't pick up any super-powers from the process. Yet.

Just over three hours of presentation spread out over an entire day, leaving lots of room for coffees, an impromptu team lunch and a social in the tiny room above Watling Street. Recharged (or drained?!) my social battery in a good way.

I wrote some code, improved some tests and while trying to deploy it all fell into a battle with nested dependencies. At time of writing, the dependencies are winning.

Turns out that travel can be dangerous after-all.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          • After not running much during the trip and then staying mostly indoors for a week, I ran once this week and it was a real struggle. Lesson learned: stick to the habit - even while travelling. The upshot is that all my health stats are still tracking up.

On top of going through - a lot - of CVs, I designed a new interview process for a specialised role, leaning heavily on behavioural questions (with a few discussion-based technical questions) and this GDS-inspired technique and so far it’s performing quite well.
