I was 8 years old in 1983 so I only have a vague recollection of the night when all the adults in the house sat rapt in front of the TV and then as one exploded into a huge celebration. It was only much later that I understood what had happened. Infected by cricket (like everyone else in India, lol), I even have the dubious distinction of attending the worst ever World Cup final - Australia v Pakistan 1999 at Lords, that too after buying tickets in black from a heart-broken South African colleague (y'all remember Alan Donald's run out, right?) That final was such a washout. Pakistan all out for 135. Ugh. Waste of a day.

Subsequent match-fixing episodes and then the glut of cricket on TV tempered my fandom somewhat but yesterday brought it all back! Man. What a game. This is what a WC final should be like. On a knife-edge and with feats of heroism and splendor. That SKY catch was so so clutch!

Anyways, being slightly cricket drunk right now, I'm not really in the mood to write about careers and then I realised that y'all probably not in the mood to read about it either. And so no insightful takes or controversial opinions this time - just happy to bask in the glow of the victory with y'all.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Today's featured job is by my friends at Last9. GTM Devops Engineer means you help Last9 customers to solve their observability pipeline and you help Last9 to close deals as a result of how well the product works for the customer. If you have ambitions of someday building in the devtools space, I can't think of a better role to get in front of customers and understand their buying process, while still needing the technical chops to actually put massive and heterogenous systems under a loving cloak of observability. The team is great and the product is getting enough sales interest to have to expand the GTM team, so I recommend this role unconditionally.
