We’re seeing a massive decline in skilled tradesmen entering the workforce. Chris Hoffmann isn’t only scaling one of the largest home service businesses in the Midwest: He’s single-handedly attacking the trades talent problem by building the pipeline of workers himself. Chris currently serves as the CEO at Deutschmann Lane...

@STLChrisH We are seeing a massive increase in MBAs who want to roll up companies with men who have skilled labor. None actually want to do the job. They’ll sure try to sell the trade though! Technology should allow tradesmen to organize to share in upside more as owners vs employee.

@GoingLocobolic @STLChrisH We talk about it. The MBAs are about to be unpleasantly surprised that business isn’t spreadsheets and case studies

hockeystick moments are the biggest opportunity of your career. It's exciting and kinda scary. Everything changes! I wrote Scaling Fast: Software Engineering Through the Hockeystick as your guide. 16 years of startup experience condensed into 240 pages Scaling Fast is based on startup war stories, academic research papers, talking to my mentors, and reading industry insights. It shows you what it takes to survive and thrive through the hockeystick. You'll learn about scaling teams and scaling code, how they influence each other, and why none of it matters if the business is bad. Scaling Fast: Software Engineering Through the Hockeystick is organized in 3 sections: - Scaling the Business - Scaling the Team - Scaling the Tech The business part, that's to help you evaluate the companies you join, this isn't a business book. The team part, that's key to shaping your everyday. We talk about delegating decisions, empowering engineers, working smooth instead of fast, finishing things all the way to done, good code review culture, and shipping incrementally without risky big bang releases. The tech part, that's my favorite. We talk about good abstractions, architectural complexity, observing your systems break, making steady improvements to your code without huge refactoring sprints, why tests don't solve everything, what's even worth testing, how your team structure impacts what you can do with the code, and why solving today's problem is more important than building for an imagined future. None of it is about numerical scaling [name|]. That's easy in 2025. Computers are fast. The challenge is building complex systems that don't fit in any one person's brain without breaking the business. oftware engineering when your whole company changes every 6 months is the fun part of this gig. And that's what Scaling Fast is about. 👉
