🚨 So after 21 years of career, it finally happen, I have been let go from my company, in fact the complete marketing team has been let go ... It came really as a complete surprise, I was not expecting that at all since they were super happy with and the significant impact I had. Also the company is doing really well ... But it's life, it's not easy, I'm recovering slowly and I'm already looking for my next adventure. So if you are looking for a experienced IT professional with expertise going from advocacy (community, pre-sales & customers) to Java, with a lot of knowledge and opinions on Platform Engineering/k8s ecosystem and how all of this can be infused with AI, don't hesitate to ping me. Remote EMEA Also don't hesitate to RT this post. Love you all, my network of friends has already been beyond awesome helping when I told them in private last week.

Oh...btw, I'm hiring. so this is a good opportunity if you want to work on building agents that actually go to production.

At #lisbonai today. The agenda looks pretty promising. If you happen to be here as well and want to know a bit more of what @pagerduty is doing with AI, say 'hi'.

Just randomly met someone in Amsterdam who actually knew about rely.io —my last big project (not actively working on it anymore, but I poured a solid four years into it). Such a good feeling! Had never happened outside of Portugal

For the last couple of years I haven't taken time off during Christmas. I used these *quiet* times to get ahead of the curve and focus on innovative projects I didn't get to do before and improve my skills. This year I must confess I was much more effective... 🧵 1/3

While collaborating with organizations striving for Engineering Excellence, we've identified common challenges that many leaders face. These issues not only hinder progress but also highlight the need for a strategic approach to engineering culture. 🔍 Key Challenges 1. Misalignment: Unclear goals lead to wasted efforts 2. Lack of Feedback: Insufficient feedback stifles performance 3. Cultural Barriers: Resistance to change hinders innovation Too often, initiatives feel like checkbox exercises, leading to disengagement rather than transformation. In our latest article, we delve into these challenges and share actionable strategies. Whether you're a leader or an engineer, there’s valuable insight for you. 🔗 bit.ly/3VLPcZc What challenges have you faced in building an engineering culture? Share your thoughts below! 👇

What is the ONE challenge that led you to explore an Internal Developer Portal in the first place? I'll start: centralizing various types of documentation

P.S. Ask for the companies mission and their long term vision. For me this is a deciding factor every single time. Look for innovation indicators and you’ll not get it wrong. See here our new blog post on Top alternatives to Backstage 👇 bit.ly/41x5JnA

The real value is in: 1️⃣ WHAT problem(s) are you trying to solve? 2️⃣ WHY solve this problem now? 3️⃣ HOW @rely_io can help The answer you’ll get will be more relevant than a comparison with other providers that will force you to analyze their feature set on your own. 🧵3/4

“How do you compare to Backstage?” - This is the number one question I get in first meetings with potential customers. I get where this is coming from. I used to do it myself when involved in software acquisition…until I learned a better approach. 🧵 1/4
