I mentioned on twitter that Barack Obama and I both left our old <\/em>jobs on the same day. The world has been a very different place for both of us since then.<\/p>\n

Twitter is full of politics \u2013 and I\u2019m completely ok with that, and happy to join in with my own opinions and thoughts. I\u2019ve marched, I\u2019ve protested, and I\u2019ve done a lot of learning (and re-learning) about civics, politics, and done what I can to become as educated as possible.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile<\/em>, I have a new job<\/a>, and a lot to learn about a new company, code, practices, people, and culture. I absolutely love it so far, and I know I\u2019m only scratching the surface of what there is to learn. I\u2019ve asked a lot of questions (even a few that actually seemed smart), but I\u2019m still at the stage where everything I discover unveils three more things I need to learn.<\/p>\n

In eight days at the company, I\u2019ve spent two days in San Francisco (where we\u2019re hiring testers for my team<\/u> in Ads and Analytics \u2013 ping me for more info), and two days in San Diego (where I crashed a hack week to meet more people from my team). Combine that with the work-at-home-snow-day that was Monday, and tomorrow will be just my fourth day at my desk (but I think I\u2019m in a non-traveling state for at least another week).<\/p>\n

My new team is spread across offices in Bellevue, Austin, Helsinki, Odessa, Copenhagen, and Montreal. I\u2019ve been to half of those cities before, and look forward to visiting folks in the others (odds are that Helsinki is up next).<\/p>\n

Too early to share Unity testing stories, but I\u2019m sure those (or stories inspired by Unity) will be on the blog soon. Until then, wish me luck on trying to get a reasonable drink of water from the current firehose of learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
