I believe I have woken up in an alternate universe today.
Since when are random Google engineers so absurdly popular that a G+ account suspension is even noticed, let alone reacted to with a flood of tweets, emails, etc?
Being a Google engineer appears to confer a seat at the popular kids' table, now.
- nostrademons 15y agoSkud was actually Internet-famous before being a Google engineer - she was pretty well-known in the Perl and open-source communities before joining Google as part of the Metaweb acquisition: http://www.oscon.com/oscon2009/public/schedule/detail/10173 http://www.oscon.com/oscon2009/public/schedule/detail/10173 http://search.cpan.org/~skud/ http://search.cpan.org/~skud/ She wasn't actually at Google all that long - hell, I'm more senior than she was, but I doubt anyone would notice if my G+ account disappeared, because I don't really put myself out there on the Internet (besides HN).
