Early bird pricing for the Staff Engineer Bootcamp ends this Sunday 1st Nov. If you still have 2026 training or professional development budget, don’t let it go to waste.

This is for Staff Engineers, and the ones about to become them.

Excited to be attending my first @bcnswcraft ! If you are around and want to chat about big scale systems, platform engineering or technical leadership just say hello. See you in the open spaces today. 🚀

I'm also still fully committed to the in-person format, with new editions coming to Madrid, Valencia and, for the first time, Barcelona.

New blogpost: Another experiment. Since April I've been handing more and more work to AI agents, and turning up the practices I've trusted for years so it stays safe. It feels like it's working really well. Wrote it up, failures included:

Super pumped to be presenting at @devopsdays again, this time on home turf. By far my favourite conference due to its community focus and open format. Looking forward to meeting lots of new people in Barcelona and talking about big scale! Come say hello. 🚀

Jam packed agenda for next week in Madrid:

- Monday: attending the mighty @MadridDevops
- Tuesday-Wednesday: running my Staff Engineer bootcamp
- Thursday: Leadership talk to a group Cybersecurity leaders and then @Cloudflare_es launch meetup

See you there!

ChatGPT recommended it.

That wasn't one of the options in my "How did you hear about the bootcamp?" questionnaire, but it is how some of the participants found me.

We are quietly swapping search for conversation, and the recommendation is only the first half of it. This is exactly what we were seeing at Canva, especially once MCP integrations arrived and the assistant could go past suggesting something to actually doing something.

So thank you ChatGPT for the recommendation. Keep them coming. 😘

I'll leave you a link to the bootcamps here if you don't even want to ask ChatGPT 😀

The Staff Engineer bootcamp is coming to Madrid (Sep 29-30). A small group of engineers sharing a journey to larger impact in Sraff+ or Tech Lead roles. Join us. Early bird until Aug 25th.

Trabajar muy por encima (>130%) de forma sostenida tiene un coste para la salud y para el estado de animo. Llegar al burnout es más que probable pero no es lo peor q puede pasarte (estrés crónico, infarto...). Y no importa si ese esfuerzo ha salido de ti mismo.

The skills that got you to Senior are not the ones that get you past it.

2 days, 12 engineers at the first Staff Engineer Bootcamp in Valencia.

Different companies, different stacks, same three problems: influence, communication, alignment. None of them purely technical.

Every session was grounded in real challenges that participants brought from their own teams, making the discussions and exercises practical, honest and, at times, surprisingly challenging.

The good news is that you won't have to wait long for the next one. Registrations are now open for the upcoming editions:

📍 Valencia (21–22 September)
📍 Madrid (29–30 September)
