“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.” - George Orwell, 1984
Hey! I know I missed the last two weeks' newsletter, and I hate that I broke my streak of writing every week since the start of the year. But I promise there was a good reason—I have some really exciting news to share!
What’s been up?
I got laid off in December 2024, and two weeks ago, I finally started a new job! I joined MetalBear as a Senior DevRel Engineer, and I’m really excited about this opportunity. For those of you who know me, you know how passionate I’ve been about developer experience and developer tools. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to work in a space that’s so close to my heart.
What was really cool is that my first week at the new job started at KubeCon! MetalBear is a remote company, so being able to meet some team members, work at the company booth, and talk to users and prospects was overwhelming but also an incredibly fulfilling experience. Here’s a photo of the MetalBear team at KubeCon :)
Interesting links for the week
Instead of sending a bunch of random links your way, these are all things I’ve read or seen and found interesting and relevant enough to share!
Who’s hiring?
Cortex is hiring for a Senior Backend Engineer (remote, US)

Golang puzzle of the week
Write a Go function that calculates the sum of all even Fibonacci numbers that are less than a given number n.
The Fibonacci sequence is defined as:
F(0) = 0
F(1) = 1
F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) for n > 1
Example:
If
n = 10, the Fibonacci numbers less than 10 are[0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8].The even numbers in this list are
[0, 2, 8].The sum is
0 + 2 + 8 = 10.
Here’s some code to help you get started:
package main
import "fmt"
func SumEvenFibonacci(n int) int {
// fill in this function
}
func main() {
var n int
fmt.Print("Enter a number: ")
fmt.Scanln(&n)
result := SumEvenFibonacci(n)
fmt.Printf("Sum of even Fibonacci numbers below %d is %d\\n", n, result)
}
You can write solutions to this in the Go Playground and share the link with me on LinkedIn to get a shoutout in next week’s newsletter!
