I do computers. Married to @radkat. 3 kids. Xoogler. @golang team '10~'20. Made LiveJournal, memcached. Now @Tailscale. Mostly in bluer skies these days.
- "An update on bradfitz" After ~12.5 years at Google and ~10 years working on Go, it's time for me to do something new. Tomorrow is my last day at Google. 👋 I'll still be involved with #golang but less, and differently. More: bradfitz.com/2020/01/27/lea…
- Network interface naming Linux: "wlan0" macOS: "en1" Windows: "The Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter provides wireless local area networking."
- Handed in my corp devices and badge! Bye, Google! Officially unemployed.
- I can't keep up with the news lately (and most of it's depressing), but the #HongKong protests seem like the most optimistic thing that's happening in the world lately. We're cheering for you, Hong Kong! 🇭🇰 (well, most of us, except stupid corps and bots)
- I see a few dozen emails with your name! Including a few 2000-2003 PayPal receipts. Thanks for supporting LJ!
- Happy Go 1.18 release day! Most generic release yet. #golang
