I am currently a software engineer at Google, where as a member of the Android platform team I build frameworks and user interfaces.
The blog here at dsandler.org is mostly historical; you can find more recent posts on Google+.
I’m beginning to undertand why I’ve been staying so late at the office.
I had assumed it was because Erin’s not there, that I had no incentive
to be home at a reasonable hour. But I think the real answer is more
subtle, less conscious: I think I’m avoiding my apartment,
avoiding the lonely task of disassembling the little life we’ve made
here over the last three years.
I’m shutting down my iMac to pack it up. Slowly, very slowly, the
accreted signs of our life here are dissolving away. Our apartment is
devolving to an earlier state. Later this week, there will be nothing
left.
InternalMemos.com: Details of the American Airlines union
agreement. Honestly, I don’t know enough about air travel to
understand a lot of these acronyms. But some of the
provisions—like eliminating crew meals, docking the crew when it
arrives early (that is, turning off the pay clock as soon as you land),
etc.—will definitely lead to miserable flight crews with few
incentives to go above and beyond in service of their passengers. Sad.
