      swyx adamstac jerodsanto Thanks for sharing! This podcast gave lots to chew on. I was especially intrigued by the question about why VPEng and CTO are more likely to be from backend.

    swyx adamstac jerodsanto The simplest explanation I see is org based. Most teams that I see have a ratio of low ratio FE to BE devs. That means more BE devs in your pool to find leaders. It's also more urgent to find people who can manage BE better, including more BE career paths. YMMV

      swyx adamstac jerodsanto I see data engineers with a similar problem in many orgs, where DEs are a minority, and there isn't support for full data teams, etc. And the opposite in some ML teams, where BE devs are a minority, and it's hard for them to find traction and DEs are critical.
