If you feel like a “code monkey” with pressure to work fast – you need an agile budget.
It took me many years, but I finally figured out the reason why.

If the leaders at your software company don’t understand this, they may still have a (barely) profitable business, but they’ll be wasting tons of money.
In this episode, I share hard learned lessons about the software industry that every company should build their foundation upon.
Agile budgeting is a key to healthy software development company culture – and careers!
