Congrats on the promotion, did you join Google as an L5?

Also, can you share more advice on the technical side, like what do you are the abstractions, mind models and technologies that you think are applicable outside of Google and would be worthy of studying?

Yes, I joined as an L5.

The technical side was probably not terribly relevant to you. I worked mostly on the Linux kernel in C, on drivers and firmware, and never did anything in the main Google repo.

Thinking in APIs and contracts always helps reduce complex problems to slightly more tractable ones.
