Most companies at scale can't tell you what a single feature actually costs to run, but Erran Berger, CTO of Engineering at LinkedIn, can. We discuss why that blind spot is more common than you'd think, why treating AI transformation as bad for employees is a false premise, and how LinkedIn reorganized its teams into small, cross-functional pods now that AI lets one person do the work of several.

A unified team sounds like a dream. But unity might not be what you think. It isn't compliance, and it isn't everyone getting along all the time.

In this episode, I share four ways to build unity on your team: point people toward a shared purpose, invest in relationships, set clear agreements and
