    Excited to announce my next career move: I've decided to move from @Microsoft to … πŸŽ‰ Microsoft! πŸŽ‰ I'm going to be a senior program manager focusing on @code, Node.js on @Azure, and @Azure SDKs. _Stoked_ to be working on an amazing editor and making using JS with Azure a joy!

    Today is my last day at Microsoft. It's been the highlight of my career to work with the @azureadvocates and then on @code and @Azure. I learned an incredible amount from a wonderful cast of people. I'm taking two weeks off before I start the next thing πŸ₯²
