CTO
Changing Thoughts on Good Developers by 이동욱 (Translated from Korean)
Focusing on individual traits like “characteristics of a good developer” or “personalities suited for developers” turned out to be meaningless. What really mattered was “which developer, with what strengths and weaknesses, works at which company, and in what situation.”
- Developers who struggle to go deep into a single technology often thrive in early-stage startups, quickly building a variety of products as the company pivots.
- Friends who found coding less appealing but had no trouble with presentations and documentation became ace in traditional large companies, excelling at both implementation and reporting in various situations.
- A team member I once urged to study more development turned out to be an indispensable morale booster for the team.
- An organization that only hired developers focused solely on technical skills ended up never holding any knowledge-sharing sessions.
When a Highly Competent Employee Says They Want to Quit by Yurim Jin (Translated from Korean)
- When a highly competent employee says they want to quit
- It's usually not just about getting paid more elsewhere. These are people who are dedicated and loyal to their work but feel unrecognized = a failure in management.
- Your first reaction to their resignation
- If you don't handle it well, you'll only confirm their feeling that they're not important, making it much harder to turn things around!
- Let them speak, but don't argue. They've probably spent sleepless nights practicing what to say.
- Competent people have influence
- Other employees respect them and identify with them. As a result, other talented employees may want to follow their lead.
If I get the responsibility to promote someone, make sure to reread Chapter 31 of Peter Drucker's “Management Cases”.

많은 사람들이 간과하는 것 같은데, CTO는 회사의 경영자다. CTO가 하는 결정은 기술적인게 아니라 비즈니스적인것이어야 하고, 한편으로는 회사의 다른 비즈니스적인 결정에 기술적인 시야를 제공할 수 있어야한다.
그렇기에 내가 경계하는 것은 비즈니스적인 임팩트를 고려하지 않고 기술적으로 옳은 일을 하려고 하는 것과, 비즈니스가 기술적인 위험에 노출되도록 방치하는 것이다.

이번 연도의 남은 기간에 단 하나의 일만 할 수 있다면 무슨 일을 하시겠습니까? 그 일을 선택한 이유는요?
우리가 지금 하고 있지는 않은데 시급히 해야만 하는 일이 하나 있다면, 그것은 무엇일까요?
