Well, a bit more than that – I started on January 23, 2006, but I forgot to post on the exact anniversary.

It’s scary how quickly time passed. It’s even scarier to realize that I don’t really have a long-term plan (or a short term one or, for that matter, any plan) and thus I risk making a “10 years of Google” post sooner that I might realize.

Do I still like it? You bet. Sure, the honeymoon is long over and not everything is perfect (some people might call that an euphemism) but I have a hard time imagining a better place of employment right now. I guess the biggest challenge is trying to fit in the culture of apparent hyperproductivity: being a smart slacker just doesn’t cut it (because everybody else is just as – and usually more – smart than you).

What now? I don’t know. I guess it’s just a matter of keeping at it, and making a plan for the future. Yeah.
