Episode notes

On this episode of Distributed, host Jack Hannah sits down with Ivett Ördög, a 35-year software veteran and creator of Lean Developer Experience (aka Lean Poker), to talk about what it really takes for engineers to grow their impact. Ivett argues that communication, continuous delivery, and delivering value early are not soft add-ons but essential engineering skills that determine how far developers can go.

Together, they break down how remote work can create better environments for deep focus and well-being, why strong communication skills often determine the jump from mid-level to staff, and how developers at any stage can begin practicing them. Ivett also shares when rewrites actually make sense, how to communicate them to management, and why continuous delivery gives teams the feedback they need to build the right thing.

The episode offers clear, tactical guidance for any engineer looking to level up, advocate for better ways of working, and deliver value earlier and more often.
