About this site

"I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means." - Joan Didion

This space is where I  (Daniel Becker), a seasoned CTO explores the complexities and opportunities at the intersection of technology and business, sharing insights gained from years of navigating the digital landscape. Expect clarity, experience-driven perspectives, and a focus on cutting through the noise. As a CTO, my days are spent immersed in the practical realities of building and scaling technology. Yet, the need for thoughtful reflection and clear articulation of ideas remains paramount – both for effective leadership and for navigating the ever-evolving technological terrain. This blog is an extension of that process: a space to think out loud, to dissect challenges, and to synthesize experience into actionable insights.

 Here, you'll find perspectives shaped by years of grappling with technical strategy, evaluating emerging technologies (including the transformative potential of AI), and understanding the critical role technology plays in achieving business objectives. The aim isn't to offer fleeting trends or surface-level observations, but rather to provide a grounded, experience-driven viewpoint on the issues that matter to technology leaders and the organizations they serve.

 Ultimately, this site is a commitment to clarity – in thought and in communication. It's about sharing lessons learned, exploring new horizons, and fostering a deeper understanding of the intricate dance between technology and the world it shapes.

 Disclaimer: I do use writing tools including public and private AI and LLMs; I'm responsible for what I publish here though.
