Compounding Engineering: The 4-Step Loop
About this episode
Most engineering makes the next feature harder. Compounding engineering flips it: a Plan, Delegate, Assess, Codify loop where each cycle makes the next easier.
Sam and Maya unpack Compounding Engineering: The 4-Step Loop from the field notes, the argument, the numbers, and the practical moves, in a short, sharp conversation.
