New S/P: The World Cup has a favorite stadium: Mexico’s Estadio Azteca.

I teamed up with @CBarreraDiaz and @Luismacha to explain the glory behind the myth — and the cost you won't see on TV.

@LangeAlexandra Truly the best advisor. A towering, intimidating, challenging figure - but also one of the most singularly generous people one could hope to cross paths with. Very saddened by the news but ultimately grateful for the privilege of having had him as a mentor

[Luis M. Castañeda @Luismacha]

@enriqueramirez I am saddened and shocked by the news, but also grateful for the intensely exciting years we were lucky to share with him. JLC was an exceptionally generous mentor to so many of us.

@GergelyOrosz this is ultimately a healthy trend but it is not without tensions - many companies came to naturalize ratios and numbers that were not fundamentally correct or healthy for some time.

[Luis M. Castañeda @Luismacha]

@ashleyruba I've seen so much potential for innovation, collaboration and learning lost because of these deeply ingrained biases. Only way to chip away at these is by making alternatives tangible and real

[Luis M. Castañeda @Luismacha]

@smtology i like this. Have made a similar transition myself and know of many success stories. But we could use more!

[Luis M. Castañeda @Luismacha]

@dvassallo excellent thread here 📝

There are many people in leadership positions at tech companies that don’t understand:

Codebases without the people that wrote the code are just a liability, not an asset.

People don’t just leave managers: they leave shitty oncall rotations as well.

we never really figured out if androids really do dream of electric sheep
however, many products *definitely* dream of themselves as platforms
and many platforms dream of themselves as infrastructure
we may call this the Blade Runner Principle

This is one of the great approaches to hire engineers with no prior experience: partnering with local bootcamps and hiring in batches, then investing further in these new hires. Hiring and investing in junior engineers is underrated.

Well done, @SkyscannerEng!
