Community questions answered by Thomas Proulx

How do I handle a critical production incident without losing team confidence?

Communicate openly about what happened and involve the team in solutions. Acknowledge mistakes but focus on learning and improving.

How do you give honest performance feedback to a strong engineer who is hard to work with?

Focus on their impact on the team rather than their personality. Be specific about instances where their behavior created friction.

How do you decide whether to build or buy a feature in your SaaS?

Evaluate the cost and time of development versus the purchase. If building takes six months and buying takes one, it's a no-brainer, especially in the startup phase.
