Life
Trying to prioritise myself more. I went swimming, which was amazing (my apartment didn’t have a pool – sadness), worked out, and got myself a 3-month apartment for when I come back in a couple of weeks.
Work
A lot of planning and product definition work. Saying goodbye to my team after our offsite, and leaving myself for NYC. Started getting leadership coaching which is really helping.
An engineer on my team gave his first talk! So exciting! I live tweeted it (in English, it was given in Spanish).
Media
Watching The Magicians, and reading What Got You Here Won’t Get You There.
Product links Amazon.
Published
A new edition of Technically Speaking is out.
I sent a Where the Hell is Cate letter from MDE, on the topic of goodbyes.
