My mission is to build high-performing remote engineering teams. It is a humble contribution to scaling the remote work model as much as possible, as I am convinced it benefits civilization in many domains.

Short thoughts, quick takes, and micro-posts.
I have no plan for my book to become a strong cash flow. But it is a fabulous marketing tool for my brand and will help me build authority.
I know I must work on a course or provide coaching services to make money.
Should I start with a course first?
I made my @hypefury analytics public on my website. I also put a link to book 30mn virtual coffees with me to chat about building remote engineering teams. ☕
I talked this week with someone sharing a passion for remote, and I thought it was an excellent idea.
Once you learn something valuable, you forget what it was like when you didn't know it. Not everyone knows what you know.
Yesterday night, when I was in bed, I had a fantastic idea I wanted to write down. It kept me awake for hours.
I love these inspirational moments but dislike having my sleep schedule broken. 😐
What do you do when this happens to you?
Being an introvert is no excuse for not caring about your people. Human connection is the core of any successful team.
We overestimate how being vulnerable hurts our careers. I learned that the opposite is true.
I presented a talk about how to overcome burnout last week.
I talked about my personal history with burnout, and I made sure not to omit even sensitive details.
I recently tried short videos like Reels to film family moments. I found this format exciting, and I also use it regularly to share with my teams on Slack. It inspired me to try and share content in short forms.
What topic would you like to see?
There is no happiness when you reach success. Success is not an endpoint but a waypoint.
You will always chase your potential because there is no limit to success.
Renegotiate your emotions on what success means. Appreciate the new "you" whenever you encounter it.
Suggestions from @Grammarly for French speakers. 😂 I don't know how to take it.
Underdog is also a viable position.
Average competency is often enough—90% of successful people are not genius or incredibly talented.
You don't always need to be 1st to succeed.
Encourage engineers to shape the plan and the business goals behind them. What they build must create value for the business and its customers. They have to determine what value means from their project.
There is no better way to maintain alignment with your teams.
Being remote gives you the best advantage you will ever have: location independence.
But freedom comes with indecision. Where to settle?
Life is connections-based, not location-based. Find a place that connects with you emotionally and contribute to its local community.
Unlock the full potential of your teams by finding their Zone of Genius.
Consider the four zones of competency:
- Zone of Incompetence
- Zone of Competence
- Zone of Excellence
- Zone of Genius
I learned that you have to run your own race. Never compare with others.
I still have a terrible habit of checking how my posts perform daily and comparing myself to the competition.
It doesn't demonstrate my progress as I focus on calm growth.
Identify your business constraints and restructure the rest around them.
Designing your organization to fit the constraints, rather than adapting the constraints from the design, is the most compelling way to achieve efficiency.
Leadership can be found in anyone. Your role and position don't imply leadership but sometimes can give you opportunities to demonstrate it. An individual contributor can become a remarkable leader.
If your company fails to reach average talents, it will struggle to hire high-performers. To appeal to the best, you must aim for the top.
I'm cursed to try dark mode every month and return to the light one the day after. I don't know how you all love it. I'm happy to be boring!
You're wrong if you think async is a tool for any purpose.
Synchronous activities are still beneficial for some use cases.
Particularly:
