In general, people have very free discussions internally, but that transparency doesn't extend outside the firewall. In some cases, that secrecy surely leads to waste. But I do understand how being painted with such a large bulls-eye (by SEO artists, malware purveyors, competitors, etc.) can induce a certain amount of paranoia. Brent, it was a long thought out decision that consumed me over a few months. Even that feels quick, considering that I spent over 10 years at Endeca! And Jeremy, there's no evil.jar, just evil cookies. :-) Max, I’m not surprised–there’s a thriving internal community.

I suspect you'll be able to geek out to your hearts content. Congratulations on your move and best of luck. Boy was I shocked to hear you’ve moved to Google, but I probably shouldn’t be.
