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.
