The weekly read for engineering leaders building teams in the age of AI.

The thesis

One idea, one data point, one decision you can act on. No fluff. No generic hiring advice.

Most writing about engineering leadership is by people who don't do it. This isn't that.

Building Tech Teams is for the people making the call. CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and founders who are hiring, restructuring, and shipping under real pressure. The kind of decisions that don't show up in playbooks because the playbooks haven't caught up to AI yet.

Every week you get one issue. Sometimes a hiring signal nobody else has flagged. Sometimes the breakdown of a move that worked, or didn't. Sometimes a number that changes how you think about your team next quarter.

What you won't get: motivational posts, thought-leader takes, or “10 traits of great engineers” lists.

What you get

• The Newsletter. One issue every Thursday. Direct, practitioner-to-practitioner.
• The Podcast. Weekly Briefs and guest conversations with operators who are actually building. New episode every Monday.
• The AI Jobs Index. Quarterly data on what AI is doing to engineering hiring in Australia.
