Cto Advisor
This is a comprehensive playbook for technology leaders covering the strategic and operational aspects of the CTO role. It includes Python tools for analyzing tech debt and calculating team scaling needs, templates for architecture decision records, frameworks for evaluating vendors and technologies, and DORA metrics implementation guides. The weekly cadence and quarterly planning structure are especially practical, giving you a blueprint for how to actually spend your time rather than just what to think about. It's opinionated in useful ways, like the 1:8 manager ratio and 20% innovation time allocation. If you're a first-time CTO or VP of Engineering, this gives you the frameworks that usually take years to build yourself.
