Cadence is everything: 10x engineering organizations for 10x engineers

What this post added

This post introduces the concept of 'cadence' as a dominant factor in engineering organization performance, drawing parallels from aerospace (Gossamer Condor, SpaceX) and software development. It highlights the importance of high iteration rates and short cycle times, linking them to the DORA metrics (Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Change Failure Rate, Time to Restore Service) as indicators of engineering excellence. The post argues that an iterative approach, akin to the scientific method, allows for faster learning and improvement, leading to exponential gains over time.
