@Todd_Segal The funniest would be if an Oxpecker config change blew away souce and they had to rebuild the site from everyone's code printouts

Last night, after a wonderful 88 years of life, my Dad, Joseph Patrick Keenan, passed away. He was a kind, compassionate giant, and the hole left in me is much greater than I could ever anticipate. I miss you Dad. Until we meet again.

Anyone else feel like this week was a total loss? I’m pretty sure I got complete bupkis done. And yet I’m exhausted. When is our next 90-day weekend?

@marius I’ve heard that having a lower surface area to volume ratio helps (think of a sphere, where volume scales with R^3 and surface area scales with R^2)

Has anyone studied the thermodynamics of children? How is it that they never get cold?

@JeffDean @GCPcloud R.I.P. MapReduce. After having served us well since 2003, today we removed the remaining internal codebase for good. Of course, external users of MR on GCP will continue to be supported with our fully upstream compatible managed Hadoop platform, Dataproc.

Saddened to hear about long-time Amazonian and early AWS teammate Peter Cohen passing. There's no AWS without Peter, who wrote working backwards doc on S3 (then S4) and mturk (which he also ran). RIP Peter.

Went down a bit of a ancient-slide-deck-assisted memory lane, and, man, those early-ish Hadoop years were fun. Everyone was leveling up.

After a full day of @Twitter new hire orientation, I have come to two conclusions: 1) this company is remarkably mature and thoughtful for its size, and 2) I'm afraid that I may never want to leave. #July22NewHires
