What distinguishes a leader from a technical one in today tech world?  This book walks through what makes or breaks a good technical leader - in a very opinionated manner.

A personalized guide to developing the qualities that make a successful technical leader, with practical steps for developing those qualities.

Teams are producing more code than ever. Dashboards are green. And something is quietly breaking. AI coding assistants didn't break your development process; they revealed it was already fragile. Reimagine, Don't Retrofit is a field-tested argument that the software development lifecycle itself needs to be reimagined for the AI era, from governance and metrics to team roles and delivery flow.

Something is broken. You can feel it. You work harder and fall further behind. You're told it's the market, it's global forces, it's just how things are now. It's not. Fifty years of decisions built an economy that takes from those who work and gives to those who toll. This book names the decisions, the people who made them, and exactly when. Then it shows you what can be done about it.
