#3Oh, that's a shame. Luiz was one of the nicest people I met at Google and his tech contributions were excellent. He also promoted "roofshots over moonshots", which was a philosophy badly needed.

#6Luiz was one of the smartest, kindest people you could have ever met.
He was the kind of person you'd have been proud to call your friend.
If you are ever looking for someone to aspire to as a software engineer, you should aspire to be like Luiz.

#7> “Wait, wait, wait, but why are we doing it this way?” Barroso said on the podcast. “And it just turns out that the people who had been living in that area hadn't really thought about questioning that. And sometimes it's something that was based on a good reason three years ago, and that reason had a sell-by date, and it's time to do something else.”
This is a very humane way of thinking about the mindset of people who implemented solutions that don't quite work for your needs.

#8As a Brazilian, I'm really sad to hear this news, but I'm glad Luiz's work is getting the respect and recognition it deserves. Thanks Luiz.
