Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S9 Bonus: Zach Goldberg, Gruntwork & The Startup CTO’s Handbook
Zach Goldberg was sent to computer camp when he was 12 years old. An interesting part of the story is that the prior year, he went to sports camp - and it didn't go so well. At the camp, he fell in love with tech, and eventually became a counselor. He finds the most joy and impact at the intersection of business and technology. Outside of tech, he is married, and a private pilot in California. He also admits to being a total geek, getting very excited about installing a solar panel on his roof (up to code of course, and with the permission of his wife).
A few months ago, Zach was introduced to the founders of his current company, through the executive coaching and consulting he does. They all had great conversation around approaches to DevOps and what the future of the industry is - so much so, that he decided to join the team and lead the conversation.
This is Zach's creation story at Gruntwork.

Curious City - Sign Stealing: A Petty Piece Of Chicago Political History

The Daily - It Sucks to Be 33
Jeanna Smialek, who covers the U.S. economy for The Times, will be 33 in a few weeks; she is part of a cohort born in 1990 and 1991 that makes up the peak of America’s population.
At every life stage, that microgeneration has stretched a system that was often too small to accommodate it, leaving its members — so-called peak millennials — with outsize economic power but also a fight to get ahead.
Guest: Jeanna Smialek, a U.S. economy correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:
- When millennials gripe that they get blamed for everything, the accusers might actually be onto something.
- Millennials have the children, but boomers have the houses.
