Yep, I worked at Google until they silently started sunsetting all the small endeavors and funneling everyone into Ads/Cloud/Search. Back in 2014, the internal position listings were full of fascinating projects that could bring a lot of good, and looking at it now, it's pretty clear the writing is on the wall for the culture. I left late last year. Luckily, I've saved up enough to be able to work on Vale full-time for a year or two, hoping I'll have enough sponsors by then to be able to continue. If I play my cards right, I'll be able to make Vale into a nonprofit, a la ZSF. A worthy endeavor!
