The Hallway Track

Software engineering is getting weirder by the week. AI is reshaping how teams work, org structures are straining under the pressure, and the old playbooks don't quite fit anymore.

The Hallway Track is a podcast for engineering leaders who are in the middle of all of it - CTOs, VPs, and managers at real companies, figuring it out in real time.

Every other week, I’ll be sitting down with the people actually doing the work: engineering leaders navigating acquisitions, rebuilding broken processes, connecting their teams to the business, and experimenting their way forward, without copying what some FAANG company did five years ago.

No keynote wisdom or recycled frameworks. Just honest conversations about what's changing, what's breaking, and what's actually working today.

Because the best lessons in software engineering don't happen on a stage. They happen in the hallway.

What is The Hallway Track?

Software engineering is getting weirder by the week. AI is reshaping how teams work, processes are breaking, and org tension is real - and the best lessons aren't coming from keynote stages or polished LinkedIn posts.
The Hallway Track is a podcast for engineering leaders who are building teams, navigating complexity, and looking for ideas that sound like the world they actually live in. Real stories from real teams. No recycled FAANG playbooks. Just honest conversations with the people in the trenches - about what's changing, what's breaking, and what's actually working today.
