"An update on <thing you care about>," says the subject line of the email, and all the ex-Google people go "oh no!" (In-joke, sorry.)

I’m leaving my role as the Product Lead for the Go Language at Google. I’m super proud of everything the Go team has accomplished in the last six years, and I’ve never been more excited for Go’s future. Read on if you’re interested in what led me to my decision, what I’ll be doing next, and what I’ll miss about my time at Google. Go has been my passion for the past 10 years Ten years ago, I used Go for the first time.

Was just asked to apply to be a Google Women Techmakers Ambassador. No way. I am not using the little social reach I have to promote the harmful work of Google. And using inclusivity to draw women (or any marginalised folk) into promoting Google is 🤮

My Open Source contributions stopped right after I joined Google. 😅

Want to know just how much Gmail despises its users? You can export your Gmail in MBOX format. What formats can you use to *import* mail? … Any guesses? … Foolish user! You cannot import mail 🖕🤣🖕

Yikes. TL;DR: Employee talks to HR about discrimination. Google suggests (on-campus) counseling. Google has access to notes from those sessions (!!) and used them against her in court (!!!). So much for that employer-provided "perk". Story here: nytimes.com/2021/07/28/us/…

throwback to that time a Google recruiter reached out to me after seeing my GitHub profile this was several months ago, but it’s only just dawned on me that they must’ve seen my profile full of abandoned projects and thought “yep, that’s Google material right there” 😂

OK, whew. I've now read all 130 pages of state AGs suit v Google. In three words, Google is royally screwed. Expect... Press headlines: Facebook and Google colluded! Deeper dives: Google turned open web into a walled garden of tying, exclusionary tactics, and privacy fixing.

The full postmortem of the Google outage this week is now up: - incomplete migrations can be dangerous - it continues to baffle me that Google systems aren’t designed to minimize the blast radius. - Automated tools shouldn’t have the ability to make *global* config changes.

Keep in mind that if you harass women or threaten them you do not get fired from Google.
