Beyond the Commit, Episode 5, Part 1: Jan Macháček

In this episode, we dive into the real story behind scaling a tech company from modest beginnings to global impact and what it takes to get there.Paweł Dolega talks with Jan Macháček, CTO at Cake Solutions - a company that grew from a 3-person consultancy in a windowless Manchester office to a 120-engineer powerhouse, ultimately acquired by Disney. Along the way, Jan and his team played a key role in delivering Disney+.In this first part, we explore how that journey actually unfolded: the technical and organizational challenges of building at scale, what it means to support a product launch during a global pandemic, and how culture evolves as a company grows.Jan also shares the surprisingly simple (and very human) story behind the acquisition decision - one that took roughly an hour and happened in a pub.A candid conversation about growth, timing, and the decisions that shape a company’s trajectory.

Beyond the Commit, Episode 4: Ed Addario

In this episode, we explore how today’s technology leaders can stay sharp, innovative, and effective in a world transformed by AI and rapid organizational change. We look at what it really takes to remain close to the craft, how to judge AI tools by their actual business impact, and why the right team structure is essential for experimentation and long‑term growth. Paweł Dolega talks with Ed Addario, CTO at Kuda - a seasoned technologist whose passion began at age 11 with a TRS‑80 and evolved into a career spanning mobile, cloud, AI, and over 15 years in fintech. Ed co-founded Navro and previously served as CTO at Currencycloud and Salary Finance. Today, he’s helping drive Kuda’s mission of “banking for every African on the planet.” He’s also an active member of IEEE and ACM. Ed shares his perspective on staying relevant as a hands-on leader, building organizations that encourage innovation, and navigating the journey from startup chaos to scaleup discipline. He also reflects on the realities of attracting top engineering talent in a competitive global market.

Beyond the Commit, Episode 3: Sebastian Titze

In this episode, we explain the essential challenge faced by every modern software organization: technical debt. We analyze how to define it, distinguish between conscious strategic debt and unintentional "mess", and, crucially, how to manage and eliminate it to maintain development speed and team morale. Our host, Paweł Dolega, discusses this topic with Sebastian Titze, CTO at Corify, an experienced technology leader. Sebastian, drawing on his career experience from working in the financial sector to consulting and management, shares his strategies. He explains how to measure technical debt using metrics like cognitive complexity and change frequency, emphasizes that fixing tech debt must be framed as a business decision (ROI), and stresses the importance of organizational culture and team motivation in addressing it.
