Inspired by this thread, here’s my version — exactly half, 18 years 🤯 best to start with a couple of earlier timestamps:

1992 — Learning BASIC as a 2nd grader. Both my parents are software engineers so it seemed natural to them back then. Thanks Mom and Dad! 1994 — Learning LOGO (Hebrew version!) in summer camp. I didn’t understand why all the verbosity but it was fun to draw things with a turtle.

1997 — Started learning C and C++ from Dad’s books in Russian. Didn’t understand half of what I’m doing. Templates, right? 🤷🏻‍♂️

There’s something on my mind in these challenging times, while working from home. As you might know, Google doesn’t have an official WFH policy. It’s OK to WFH once in a while, but it’s not encouraged or common. So how the hell does it work for 100K+ employees? (thread) Well, first, all of our tools are remote anyway. My builds run on a remote machine, as do my tests (if I want to). My code editor is web-based (although I often prefer IntelliJ). All collaboration is in Docs, Hangouts, Chat, Gmail. (2/)
