   We've discovered quite a bit while building this site, and better scroll performance is in the works. Stay tuned.

   Yep. We have it in the works. Some bugs came up before launch that we didn't have a chance to get to, but it's coming.

    Yeah, definitely. I worked for eight years in the Toronto startup scene. Several coworkers were unquestionably awesome, but they were few and far between. The bar here is much higher.

    Fact is, it just isn't true. As a Googler, I am surrounded by enormously talented engineers, the likes of which I rarely encountered on the outside. They love what they do, and it shows. I have no doubt that there are false negatives&#

    It certainly didn't happen that way for me. I'm doing exactly the kind of work that I love to do. You're afforded quite a bit of mobility inside the company.

    True, but probably not the magnitude of difference you should be worried about.

    I've heard this suggested before, but seriously, 5.1 million square kilometers of solar panels? Seems to me that we're a long way off from that kind of undertaking.
