Hello World

January 15, 2025

Welcome to Between Standups. This is the first post on a blog dedicated to the space between the daily standups — the thinking, the decisions, and the conversations that shape engineering teams.

Why Between Standups?

The name comes from a simple observation: the most important work in engineering management rarely happens in the standup. It happens between them.

Here’s what you can expect from this blog:

• Practical advice on engineering management
• Reflections on leadership and building high-trust teams
• Explorations of the craft of software engineering
• Honest takes on what works and what doesn’t

A Quick Code Example

Let’s start with something simple. Here’s a classic in JavaScript:

function greet(name) {
  return `Hello, ${name}! Welcome to Between Standups.`;
}

console.log(greet("world"));

If you’re curious about the tech stack powering this blog, it’s built with Astro — a modern static site generator that ships zero JavaScript by default.

Stay tuned for more posts on engineering management, leadership, and everything in between.
