It's interesting this made the front page but no comments talk about Evan or his many accomplishments, just Google. I suppose that's a reflection of the recent sentiment where old timers leaving Google is a sign of something.
In any case, I had the pleasure of interacting with Evan a couple times while on Chrome, and he was this amazing slice of Google engineering culture. I have a vivid memory of him and some friends discussing how to optimize IO perf on Windows late on a Fri at the office. In my time at Google I learned so much from just sitting and listening in on things like that.
Figma's lucky to have Evan. While it's unfortunate to see old timers leave Google, it's good for the industry for them to be joining the next batch of up and coming companies.
