This channel exists for one reason:

To give developers the hard truths no one told us until it was too late.

I don’t do fluff.

I don’t do hype.

And I definitely don’t do corporate-approved, sanitized career advice.

Here, we talk about:

• Why you keep getting passed over for promotion

• Why your code is fine but your influence is zero

• Why your “potential” isn’t enough to survive bad leadership

• And what to do about it — before you burn out or bail

I spent 25 years as a CTO (1999-2024).

I’ve hired, fired, promoted, rescued, and rebuilt teams. Now I teach developers what actually matters:

• How to position yourself

• How to communicate like a leader

• How to write code that outlives you

• How to stop getting stuck in the same roles over and over again

This isn’t tech theater.

It’s a mentorship program disguised as a YouTube channel.

Are you tired of vague advice, fake positivity, or yet another tutorial that doesn’t change anything? welcome.

This channel won’t make you feel good.

It’ll make you better.
