Kristin Cox was interviewing for open roles in both Justin Haynes org and Chris Wolford org. Bree wanted her steered toward Wolford req on the grounds that it had been harder to find strong candidates for. Peter overrode that without debating it. His instruction: have Bree ask the candidate directly which role she is most interested in; if she picks Justin, stop the Wolford process immediately and get an offer out as fast as possible; if she picks Wolford, let that loop finish. He told Justin to be selfish about it and said he would write to Bree himself. He also stated plainly that all else equal his thumb is on Justin side of the scale, because he is far more worried about delivery on the Linux side of the house than on the Fuzzball side.
People: Justin Haynes, Chris Wolford
