I'm sad to see my favorite tech conference come to an end. I'm very grateful to have had the chance to attend and speak at @LISAConference . Thanks to everyone who helped organize it over the last 35 years! Hope I can attend an in-person @SREcon in 2022.

Mozilla is hiring for a Director of Site Reliability Engineering. This is a new position overseeing the team I'm on and 2 other teams in a recently-consolidated SRE org. It's fully remote. I'm happy to answer any questions I can, just DM me! grnh.se/0bb758871us

MDN as a website isn't going anywhere right now. The team is smaller, but the site exists and isn't going away. We will be working with partners and community members to find the right ways to move it forward given our new structure at Mozilla.

Have all of the folks I worked with at Mozilla and Pocket on my mind today. Heartbreaking news that they are laying off about 25% of the company 😔 blog.mozilla.org/blog/2020/0…
 Some wonderful, talented, passionate folks there. If you are hiring, keep an eye on #MozillaLifeboat.

Starting the day with the devastating news that Mozilla is laying off 250 people, about a quarter of the company. blog.mozilla.org/blog/2020/0… There are so many great people there, especially the browser engineers who invented much of the web… this is going to be painful. ❤️😩

The team I'm on at @mozilla is looking to hire more operations engineers. We run the many backend services that @firefox users and developers rely on. Join us! Both jobs are remote. Junior/Mid posting: careers.mozilla.org/position… Senior posting: careers.mozilla.org/position…

The most rewarding feedback I got was "Out of all the presentations I've seen this weekend, this is the one I'm going to show my coworkers on Monday." Mission accomplished!

Over the last year or so I've written my first book, An Elegant Puzzle, which is my attempt to share what I've learned about engineering management. teapawt.net/stripepress/status/108…
Two of our upcoming books are, at their hearts, about bringing people together and helping them thrive. An Elegant Puzzle (spring ‘19) focuses on engineering management & Get Together (summer ‘19) focuses on cultivating passionate communities. Learn more: press.stripe.com/
