Full-time remote work? If you're going to reach an agreement on where you will live and work it's better to do it as early in the process as possible. I'd say WELL before onboarding and interview. Like conversation #1 with th

This is incorrect! I began as a full-time remote employee and stayed so for 16 months until it made more sense for me to move to HQ. There are hundreds of remote workers, but being local has definitely allowed me to not need to rely on emai

Oh damn, you broke the triple secret NDA. Next people will find out that Fuchsia is the color faces need to get before the project is revealed to be a conspiracy theory generator. There are plenty of important reasons for this project, that

These reports have existed for years before Alphabet. The track record is clear. There isn't always some trick or catch. (Disclosure: I work at Google.)

Exactly this. And So fun to speculate on something far from its likely end goal or release state, because _only_ of who made it public. A lot of cooks in the opinion kitchen looking out the window at wheat growing, pretending it’s already a

I’m in marketing and not here to pump our own tires, but Spanner is /the/ database beneath so much of Google. We trust and rely on it, so it’s very exciting to me to see other big companies who need mission-critical /and&#x2F

This one-year-long deprecation warning comes atop what is a fairly reasonable migration path for most users. I have yet to hear of a single user of any size whose “entire stack” relied on a single API, let alone this one, and who would be l

History shows that a very large portion of Google launches begin in the United States and then tend to scale outward. And I agree on the use case for seniors, given this is Family Link but targeted mostly toward juniors. It's been joke
