View show details

In Episode 32 of Tech Leadership with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into the practice of decision logs—a lightweight documentation technique that helps engineering teams avoid repeating costly mistakes. Lucas shares a concrete example from a mid-stage startup that used decision logs to cut recurring incidents by 60 percent over six months. They discuss how to start a decision log, what to include (context, decision, rationale, outcomes), and common pitfalls like over-documentation. Luna brings up the counterpoint of decision fatigue and how logs can actually reduce it. They also touch on the link between decision logs and psychological safety. A practical episode for any engineering manager or CTO looking to build institutional memory without bureaucracy. #DecisionLogs #EngineeringLeadership #TechManagement #CTO #EngineeringManager #InstitutionalMemory #TechnicalDebt #DecisionFatigue #PsychologicalSafety #PostMortem #ContinuousImprovement #SoftwareEngineering #Leadership #StartupEngineering #Documentation #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
