Scouting report
Apache ZooKeeper committer and project chair, and CTO of Rent the Runway, then head of platform engineering at Two Sigma. Wrote The Manager’s Path, which is the book most engineers are handed when they first lead a team, and which is unusually honest about the parts of the job that are not fun.
Curator’s note
Shipped the coordination service, then documented the harder job.
