What happens next

Every Thursday at 7 AM Mexico City time, one Decision Memo lands in your inbox plus a downloadable framework you can take into a leadership meeting Monday morning.

The memo is built for VPEs, CTOs, and Heads of Engineering at 80 to 200 engineer orgs. If that is not you, no shame, you will probably unsubscribe. If it is you, the memo will name the decision you were about to mis-frame this week.

Where the memo comes from

Operator work and Tier 1 research. Not VC opinion, not viral LinkedIn threads, not vendor marketing. Bain, McKinsey, Atlassian DX, Jellyfish, GitHub Octoverse, public earnings, plus first-party patterns from 150+ engineering organizations CodersLink has placed engineers into over 10 years.

How to actually use it

Read the Decision Memo. Read what it says you should NOT do. Pick the one move from the "What to do this week" section. Run it. Reply to the email and tell me what happened. The reply patterns from operators show up in future issues.

Subscribe is always free

No paywall. No tier. No bait. The memo exists because clear operator thinking is rare and you should have more of it.
