Bye, pals

The last week I had one of the worse news I ever heard in my job: The two more experienced professionals would be fired now. They was both as part-time with us, but even with the half of the time of the rest of the devs, they left a legacy of a higher progress than other full-time.

I am really grateful for their presence in the team, they helped me a lot in my development, incentiving me to learn:

• More about infra.
• About the world of SRE and OTEL.
• K8s and then finding Talos.
• Terraform and basics of AWS.
• Soft skills and a little about leadership.
• Go and Python with fluence.

And the countless progress in the company itself, including quality and environment in general, highly inspired by open source culture:

• Work items management habits and structured planing in our startup environment.
• Progressing replacement of our past reactive workflow towards a planning-first flow.
• Critics and improvement of the product itself.
• Strict and high-quality code reviews in all our codebases. (In english!¹)
• Architecture of the systems.
• Quit Vercel and migrate to a solid IaC.
• Remove NodeJS from the back and migrate to Go.
• Metrics and Grafana.
• Strict CIs for static analysis and tests.
• The raise of our minimum requirements for patterns and good practices in general.

Now I'll have to replace them for a while. For sure, there's a lot of study and hard work ahead. From the technical view and from the management view. But I like challenges.

I couldn't wait to aggregate only in a single bye grating letter since they left the fight before me.

So, thanks, Igor and Léo, for the inspiration, assistance and the time we had together. I wish you the best, prosperity and discernment for striving in life even more, for conquering the world! :)
