We were working on a logistics project with a management consulting firm for one of the largest retail companies in the world. The folks from the management consulting firm did all the design and analysis; we wrote the code to work with the massive databases that supported this. One of our software engineers wrote all the code.

Overlooked Features in your MVP | Developer Track Scott White , VP of Engineering at HUVRdata , had great advice for developers with an MVP (minimum viable product) that are alpha/beta testing with real users. Instead of stressing about frazzled customers, use that passion to reflect on your work and continue modifying and improving.

A Phone Call After I left MIPS Computers I was in New York tagging along with a friend (a computer architect whose products at Apple a decade later would change the shape of personal computing) who was consulting for a voice recognition startup. I’ve convinced the team you’d be perfect, come join us as the VP of Marketing.”

Rather, give titles such as VP of Engineering, Product/Technology, Sales, Marketing, Finance, etc. This leaves the CTO / Senior Architect to focus on product development and managing the recently hired engineers. Hire based on functionality and avoid having too many C’s. Series A to Series B.

Their engineering teams didn’t have the expertise using off-the-shelf microprocessors (back then “real” computer companies designed their own instruction sets and operating systems.) Their engineers hated us. The Consultative Sale Our sales guy then quietly asked if there was any way we could help them. Help them?!!

So I initially gravitated to the CTO title, and not VP of Engineering. But since I spent a long time in a hybrid CTO/VP Engineering role, I still have this nagging question. I want to add one last idea, even though I recognize it is controversial, bordering on the boundary between the CTO and VP Engineering.

In a few cases, they are clearly smart people in a bad situation, and Ive written about their pain in The product managers lament and The engineering managers lament.

Being a resource-constrained entrepreneur, I wanted a co-founder because even if I got a paid engineer or an outsourced team to build it, I would still need to build a team, and there would be continuous development needs. Then, what’s missing — clearly an engineer — and why do I want a partner?

They buy a lot of startups— more than most people realize, because they only announce a fraction of them. Larry and Sergey only started Google after making the rounds of the search engines trying to sell their idea and finding no takers. Google is the leader here, as in so many areas of technology.

Do a curl (or your.NET equivalent) on each domain, and see how many are running a Windows server: I think you’ll find the fraction very small. I am the VP of Engineering at a cutting-edge startup that sells software built on the.NET platform. It’s also missing the point of engineering anything. Elaine Kenny.
