Brendan is truly one of the best educators in tech engineering. He may not think of himself as such, and he's also obviously a fantastic engineer, but what really stands out to me is his ability to communicate ideas coherently. So much of the "staff+" engineer world is hot air, and Brendan has always struck a contrast with his straight forward, information-dense blog posts and books, and down-to-earth communication style. He explores, and often defines, the frontiers of what we do and then brings back lessons. I'm a huge fan, and can't wait to see what he does (and shares) next.
