Read Original

The article details the author's experience joining a company with strong product-market fit and scaling the engineering team rapidly. It uses the game 'Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes' as a metaphor for leadership, emphasizing communication, letting go of control, delegating to the right people ('who not how'), and running towards areas of least certainty to create clarity for the team during chaotic, high-growth phases.
