I’ve been a technical leader a few times: CTO and Director of Technology at two nonprofit newsrooms; technical lead at five tech companies of varying sizes; investor and advisor in early-stage startups.

I’ve enjoyed reading Ask a Manager for years, and it occurred to me that a similar column for technical leadership might be interesting. So: let’s try it!

Ask me a question:

Ask a question anonymously and I’ll try to give you an impartial answer. This might be technical advice, questions about people leadership, questions about trends — or anything you wish you could ask experienced technical leadership.

Sounds good? Great. Submit a question to Ask a CTO by filling in this form.

By submitting a question, you agree that I can publish your questions and my answers here and/or in other media. Also, it should go without saying, but this is for entertainment purposes only. I am not actually your CTO, and you need to make your own technical decisions.

I’ll answer the first questions next week.
