In this episode of Dead Code, Jared speaks with Rebecca Murphey, Field CTO at Swarmia, about the critical importance of written communication in engineering organizations. Rebecca shares insights from her experiences at Indeed and Stripe, emphasizing how clear, concise, and audience-focused communication can drive alignment, mitigate risks, and advance careers. She discusses frameworks like SCQA (Situation, Complication, Question, Answer) and practical strategies, including critical reading and trimming unnecessary details, to improve technical communication. The conversation also explores how AI tools like ChatGPT are reshaping written communication, the shifting role of junior engineers in a more constrained industry, and the need to understand broader business contexts. The episode underscores that strong communication is as vital as coding skills for thriving in today’s tech landscape.
