I had a conversation with Adam Horner recently that took me back to one of the most painful moments of my career. In 2008, My co-founder pulled me aside and said, "You know you have to stop coding, right?"

I was what felt like hours into my a conversation with Joel Beasley when he dropped something that made me stop mid-sentence. "You gotta relearn the song," he said. He was talking about John Mayer having to constantly relearn his own songs because you can only keep so

I sat down with Joel Beasley on the Modern CTO podcast last week, and within the first ten minutes, we were talking about people throwing things in meetings. Not metaphorically. Actually throwing things. Joel had this reaction - this beautiful, incredulous "What type of meetings do you have?"
