That was my big fear of joining Google, being sucked into the black hole.

(Ignore the later part of the post about the App Engine app that I couldn't keep running because App Engine kept breaking me all the time.)

I mean, that Smoke Detector thing was pretty notable… although to be fair, I was inside Google at the time :-)

Interesting reading this now, the part about making open source contributions easier makes a pretty good pitch for Github.
