I'm heading to a new adventure at Digg in San Francisco to be a lead software engineer working on APIs and syndication.

I've been at Yahoo! nearly 5 years so it is both a happy and sad time for me, and I wish all the excellent people I worked with the best of luck in future.

Here is a summary of the main changes:

• Silicon Valley -> San Francisco
• 15,000 staff -> 100 staff
• Architect -> Software engineer
• strategizing, meeting -> coding
• Powerpoint, OmniGraffle, twiki -> emacs, eclipse, ...?
• (No coding!) -> Python, Java, Hadoop, Cassandra, ...?
• Sunny days -> Foggy days
• 15 min commute -> 2.5hr commute (until I move to SF)
• Public company -> private company

Exciting!
