Headed to Google

So here’s my big news: I’m starting work as a Site Reliability Engineer for Google, starting on Monday. The job is based in Kirkland, WA, but I’ll be spending a lot of time in the very near future at Google’s HQ in Mountain View, CA.

So what does this mean for me and Typo? I have no idea. The next week is going to be completely insane, and I doubt that I’ll have time to finish the email notification code that I’ve been working on, much less fix the Flickr bug that’s been discussed at length recently. Once I get settled in at Google I’ll have a better idea how this sort of thing works.

    Congrats Scott!

    Too bad most of the cool Google jobs are in the US! Out there you only find marketing positions (which admittedly are cool for marketing guys, but not for geeks)
