This episode is the first in a three-part series exploring the often-misunderstood role of software engineering, frequently dismissed as just a cost center. The AI hosts dive into my argument for adopting a product operating model and Value Stream Management to redefine engineering's value. By leveraging OKRs, teams can align their efforts with measurable business outcomes and customer impact. This shift requires intentional team design, emphasizing the movement of work to teams rather than individuals, enabling accurate cost tracking and demonstrating ROI. The ultimate aim is to transform the perception of engineering from a "black box" expense to a key driver of innovation and growth. In the next episodes, we’ll explore leadership strategies to make this vision a reality.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
