Alux App for Software Engineers: Building the Skills Code Can't Teach
Technical skill gets engineers hired. Judgement, communication and leadership get them promoted, funded or acquired. Alux focuses on the second list.
The engineer's blind spot
Most engineers spend their learning time on new frameworks and languages. Useful, but it plateaus. The jump to staff, manager, CTO or founder depends on skills rarely taught in engineering teams.
Where Alux fits
Daily 10-minute lessons on decision-making, negotiation, leadership and money. Engineers tend to like mental models, and our founder mental models piece shows the style.
Suggested routine
Do one lesson before opening your IDE. Apply it in one meeting that day. Engineers who treat it like a daily standup with themselves see the most benefit.
Not a coding app
Alux will not teach you Rust or system design. Pair it with technical resources and use it for the career side.
