Looking forward to the reddit post from an engineer that discovers a forgotten agent loop running at their company, having spent some absurd amount of money for several years doing no useful work.

Writing a lot of vanilla CSS instead of Sass for the first time in over a decade and oof do I really miss `//` comments.

Yeah, I mainly want collaborative editing and comments for raw markdown with syntax highlighting

It's an absurd product failure that Google Docs doesn't have markdown documents as a native doc type.

The Green Bone Saga (starting with Jade City) by Fonda Lee. Multigenerational story of family, culture, honor, crime, and on and on. Perhaps the bets application of fantastical/magical elements on a grounded human story I've ever read.

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison / Sarah Monette. A bit older, but I re-read this at least once a year whenever I'm feeling down. It feels nice to imagine a world with a leader defined by their kindness. (the follow-ups in the same universe are also great, starting with Witness for the Dead)

The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson. This book kept surprising me over and over again, defying any sense of predictability (in a good way).

The Tainted Cup and sequel A Drop of Corruption (book 2 comes out next month!) by Robert Jackson Bennet— Sherlock-Holmes-inspired fantasy mysteries with phenomenal world-building.

The Will of the Many and sequel The Strength of the Few by James Islington. Starts off seeming like it will be a typical "most special orphan goes to a school for magic children" story, but proves itself to be much more. The second book is maybe the most compelling fantasy novel I've ever read.

I personally *loved* the "combat" sequences. I've played D&D and CRPGs most of my life, and it's exceedingly rare to instill the same sense of danger and "oh no oh no oh no". Every encounter was a delightful puzzle of "How do I get out of this immediately?"

At least a couple Google locations do, in fact, have an on-site barber/salon. (though I don't recall them having any surrounding whimsy)

google doesn't actually sell your data to third parties (why would they? it's valuable! they're much better off being the broker who lets people target things *based* on that data. there's all sorts of other privacy reasons to be critical of google, but "selling your data" is not one of them)

I've only played about four hours of Esoteric Ebb, but it's already my top GOTY contender.

Even though I won't be working full-time on open-source any more, I still plan to stay engaged with the community. I hope to continue being an occasional conference speaker and find time for OSS contributions here and there.

Angular remains in phenomenal hands— the team is packed full of long-tenured experts who are hard-at-work as ever. I'm especially excited about the work happening around Signal Forms, Angular Aria, and golang TS support. I know the team will continue doing great work for years to come.

But 11 years is a long time to work on one project, and I've now reached a point where I'm ready to get out of my comfort zone and take on a new challenge. So in February I will be leaving Google (a bit short of 14 years) and taking on a new role working on UI infra at Databricks.

A personal update! This month marks my 11th anniversary of working on Angular. I've been privileged to collaborate with some incredible engineers and genuinely kind, thoughtful people. I'm proud of the work we've done and the community that has grown around the framework over the years.

I have been sincerely trying to find a shop in the Seattle area that imports a specific Bergamot Olive Oil from Italy for some time now. (it's made by simultaneously cold pressing fresh bergamots and olives, sounds incredible)
