Hi! I'm Sean Goedecke, an Australian software engineer. I write about software engineering, with a focus on AI and large-company dynamics. If you want to know more about my background, my resume is publicly available here
If you're interested in this blog but you're not sure where to start, you can read my most popular posts here, or start with one of these:
- How I ship projects at big tech companies
- The good times in tech are over
- Why DeepSeek is cheap at scale but expensive to run locally
- Everything I know about good system design
If you'd like to get in touch, email me at sean.goedecke@gmail.com. Hearing from readers is one of the main reasons I write at all, so please do reach out if you're thinking about it. You can also message me on LinkedIn, though I tend to give more longer responses over email.
I also wrote a book about how the software industry changed after 2021, when the end of zero-interest rates made it much harder to be a software engineer.
