Haven't found the time to blog recently. Free time is scarce with family. Haven't had a reason/desire to prioritize blogging - but if you enjoy it, go for it!

When I signed up for Instagram, I was quite careful to follow and like a bunch of accounts that feature Corgis. Now I get all sorts of dog recommendations on my Instagram and love it. Disclaimer: I work for Facebook.

A big thank you for putting levels.fyi together. It's a big reason that I'm working in tech today.

Clearly great news for Facebook employees. For reference, the previous policy was that only level 5+ could request to work remotely.
