A collection of Stoic meditations and reflections for Engineering Managers navigating the challenges of leadership, technology, and human dynamics.
Inspired by The Daily Stoic, this is a personal experiment in connecting timeless Stoic philosophy with the daily practice of engineering management.
Each entry starts with a Stoic quote and reflects on how it relates to leadership, decision-making, and personal growth in the modern tech world.
📚 These are not lessons-they're meditations.
🛠️ Not a manual, but a mirror.
I write them for myself. But if you're an engineering manager, a team lead, or just curious about the human side of leadership-you’re welcome here.
- Engineering Managers seeking philosophical grounding
- Technical leaders exploring Stoic principles
- Anyone interested in applying ancient wisdom to modern leadership challenges
