I just left my job at @facebook / @instagram to join @browsercompany. Some quick takeaways from my first week https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Smiling face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with smiling eyes">

(1) first and foremost I have never met a group of people more excited about browsers. The enthusiasm is completely infectious & makes for a great product development environment

(2) So many 3rd party tools ( @github, @zoom_us, @PairWithTuple, @NotionHQ to name a few) - at FB nearly everything was built in house. Working with these external tools makes me feel like I am more in touch with the current state of the industry

(3) Way fewer meetings. I haven’t had this much consecutive coding time in years

(4) I have learned so many new technologies - with a smaller team I find it even more important to have context on as much of the stack as I can, which means my brain is *constantly* downloading new information
