Microsoft just bought Yammer for $1.2 billion. That's insane.
I think we’ll start seeing more acquisitions like this throughout the rest of the year. It's Google’s turn.

Part of being an engineer (especially in San Francisco) is getting recruiter emails. Most of the time, they are awful.
Recently, I received an email from the CEO of a company that I'm a big fan of. He wanted me to join his company. After interviewing and thinking about it a lot, I accepted the offer. The whole time I kept thinking that I could keep working on Cheddar on the side and if it took off, I could quit and work on it full time. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that that was more exciting than working at this really cool company.
After much deliberation, I told them I had changed my mind and was going to continue working on stuff at Nothing Magical (my stuff) full time. They were disappointed, but respected the decision. This was a super hard decision, but I think it's the right thing.
