About the Book

For the mindful developer, the burned-out leader, and anyone caught in the constant push to do more-there's a better way to build. In Beyond the Commit: Thought-Provoking Questions for the Mindful Developer, veteran software consultant Michael Payne blends 25+ years of engineering experience with timeless lessons in leadership, mindfulness, and presence. Through short, story-driven chapters-each anchored by a thought-provoking question drawn from life in tech-you'll explore the human side of software development: the decisions, tensions, and quiet moments that shape not just what we ship, but who we become. You'll learn how to: Prevent burnout before it starts by re-thinking urgency, control, and attachment to outcomes. Lead without micromanaging by creating space for clarity, trust, and better conversations. Navigate hidden career traps like ego in code, identity tied to output, and the illusion of "perfect" tools. Bring presence to your craft with practical, repeatable habits that make your work more sustainable-and more human. Drawing from real projects, leadership challenges, and even the lessons of failure, Payne's voice is reflective, humble, and pragmatic-offering the kind of mentorship that's rare in both tech and business. Whether you write code every day or lead those who do, this book will help you build systems, teams, and a career that can thrive without burning out. If you've ever wondered how to lead with clarity in a noisy world, or how to find calm in the middle of a release sprint, this is your guide.
