Relax with some tech news this weekend

 

Couple good reads to bookmark for your weekend in today's newsletter:

 

For fans of The Last Dance, Spotify technologist Leemay Nassery wrote a fun comparison between successful engineering teams and the '90s Chicago Bulls. (Am I a Phil Jackson or a Dennis Rodman?) 

 

Plus, check out a timely Pride Month piece from Squadra Ventures' Carlos Bello on supporting LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs.

 

Programming note: I'm out for the next two weeks (!!!) for vacation in sunny LA. It'll be my first flight in a year and a half, and I'm positively delighted to be taking it. Wishing you a relaxing and/or adventurous time as well.
