Engineers wait for the go ahead to build some product that management has identified to solve a market gap. Now, in most big enough teams, what happens is that management or product identify market gaps, and there’s a lot of idea... </summary> </entry> <entry><title>You’re Doomed To Fail As A Team Lead</title><link href="https://kwakubiney.github.io/posts/You-re-Doomed-To-Fail-As-A-Team-Lead/" rel="alternate" type="text/html" title="You’re Doomed To Fail As A Team Lead" /><published>2025-09-16T21:12:00+00:00</published> <updated>2025-12-08T13:47:13+00:00</updated> <id>https://kwakubiney.github.io/posts/You-re-Doomed-To-Fail-As-A-Team-Lead/</id> <content src="https://kwakubiney.github.io/posts/You-re-Doomed-To-Fail-As-A-Team-Lead/" /> <author> <name>Kwaku Biney</name> </author> <category term="Leadership" /> <summary> I don’t know how I feel about technical leadership. Sitting at this position makes me realise that most processes run on experiments and are as trial and error as it gets. Being a team lead is one of the most confusing positions ever. Especially when everyone else feels like you’re at the next level where you can delegate when you feel like you’re learning new things everyday technically.

Why do we give social media that much power over our lives? I’m fairly young, but I’ve had an experience of life without social media as it exists today. There was a time when we gauged how close certain friends were using more realistic metrics. Or at least I thought we were. A friend recently got into an argument with their real life bestfriend, mainly because ... </summary> </entry> <entry><title>2023:Friendship</title><link href="https://kwakubiney.github.io/posts/2023-Friendship/" rel="alternate" type="text/html" title="2023:Friendship" /><published>2023-12-25T07:59:01+00:00</published> <updated>2023-12-25T09:37:29+00:00</updated> <id>https://kwakubiney.github.io/posts/2023-Friendship/</id> <content src="https://kwakubiney.github.io/posts/2023-Friendship/" /> <author> <name>Kwaku Biney</name> </author> <category term="Misc" /> <summary> I don’t take a lot of pictures nor do I have a lot of worthwhile memories. Writing about my year is hard, mind is blank, and I have already written about the significant parts of my life already. One thing that stands out for me this year is friendship, the beauty of friendship. Over a significant part of my life, I have known people, we have bonded to an extent, but it all fades with time. I ... </summary> </entry> <entry><title>Recovery?</title><link href="https://kwakubiney.github.io/posts/Recovery/" rel="alternate" type="text/html" title="Recovery?" /><published>2023-11-25T01:32:01+00:00</published> <updated>2023-12-02T20:51:45+00:00</updated> <id>https://kwakubiney.github.io/posts/Recovery/</id> <content src="https://kwakubiney.github.io/posts/Recovery/" /> <author> <name>Kwaku Biney</name> </author> <category term="Misc" /> <summary> September did not start off great. Got laid off at work the week I drafted my plan to get promoted. The universe has quite the sense of humour, I must say. It hurt for the first 2 days, then it just did not hurt anymore. Life goes on. I have done a lot of material chasing these past few years and it had taken a huge toll on my body. I lost myself these past two years. Coleman came in clutch in... </summary> </entry> </feed>
