A lot of staring at screens and eating free food. There's more to life... Oh wait, you get to wear a sombrero.
A sombrero might have changed my last 3 years completely. What I mean though is that I wish I could have done more than I have done in the last 3 years, I don't feel like I've moved forward much.

You know what you need to do. You've got to push yourself forward! Try not to lament about the past, just concentrate on making your future better.

I love the food at Facebook. People underestimate how important good food is.
But not to everyone. One of the benefits of working in SoMa is that people who care about good food can get it, and people who just want to grab a burrito from the taco truck can do that too.
The "break things" part of "move fast and break things" is something Google could learn a bit from. (Speaking as a Googler.) We're great at adding 9s of reliability, not as great at sacrificing reliability for progress. You can only move so fast when everything must work. This is the liability I guess of having a huge launch audience for even minor products.
I absolutely don't want any of it fucked with.

I can't think of any Google product which is as frivolous as FB. Maybe buzz and wave (RIP). People would not take down-time in gmail, analytics, calendar, search, maps, et al lightly.
I can. It's very easy. Everything Google makes apart from Google search. The rest of Google is minor and tiny compared to Facebook. They have one seriously profitable product. At the moment, the rest of it is all fluff.
I despise posts like these. I hate being so negative about it, but it doesn't say anything. "Facebook has smart employees. Facebook wants you to learn new things. Facebook has impact." None of it is novel or interesting. I wish there were more of a culture of insider writing while the events were going on. When Facebook pushed Questions and then retracted it, I'd love to see a blog post about "Yeah, we pushed Questio…
At least he didn't mention how great the food was. That's a step up from every "I love being at Google" post ever.
