Hardcoded
The toughest technology decisions founders make.
Hosted by Mario Tomic
Not theory, not advice. The actual story.
Every company hits a moment where a technology decision changes everything — a rebuild that shouldn’t have happened, a hire that didn’t work, a bet that paid off against the odds. Each episode follows one founder through that inflection point.
Published on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.
What to Expect
You don’t need to prepare anything. We find the story together in the prep call.
Quick Intro
A 10-minute video call to see if there’s a fit. No commitment.
Prep Call
A 30–40 minute prep call where we find the best story to focus on.
The Conversation
A 45–60 minute recorded conversation — video, published on YouTube and podcast platforms.
This isn’t a “what went wrong” show. You made a tough call under pressure and came out the other side — that’s the story.
We edit for clarity and pacing. Nothing goes out that makes you look bad.
Mario Tomic
Mario Tomic has spent over a decade advising non-technical founders on technology leadership — helping them make better decisions about teams, systems, and vendors without needing to become technical themselves.
Hardcoded grew out of those conversations. The same inflection points kept coming up, and the stories were too good to stay private.
