Minko Gechev, the Product Lead at Google for the Angular Open Source project and former CTO of rhyme.com, (acquired by Coursera). In this episode, we dive into lessons from scaling Rhyme from a 1-person team to VC backed organization. We also explore how Google builds products & how to maximize an open source project’s impact (as a company and as an engineer).
We cover all this and more:
[00:02:21] From 1 man team to Coursera acquisition.
[00:09:07] Growing as a CTO to understand business perspective.
[00:13:11] Angular, a popular web framework.
[00:15:05] Data overload, justifying investments, prioritizing initiatives.
[00:19:54] Investing in open source community for Angular.
[00:23:37] Open source value and ethics in team talent and operations, plus engineering team orchestration best practices.
[00:26:52] Committee decisions, ladder roles, addressing biases.
[00:30:44] Open source influences large language models.
[00:34:13] Building connection and investment through regular tool use, starting with beginner-friendly issues like fixing typos.
[00:39:28] Consistency and practice are key to success.
So tune in as we uncover the secret behind building successful technology companies, scaling open source projects, and much more with our exceptional guest, Minko Getchev.
