Donna Bogatin has a post today about Google and Microsoft fighting it out for talent in Seattle and it got me thinking. The main Google office is in Kirkland, which is across Lake Washington from me (Redmond, where Microsoft is located is also across the lake). But there is a Google office in Fremont that some of the employees try to work from every once in a while (it’s much easier to get to from downtown than the Kirkland office). Adobe has an office right across the street from Google in Fremont. Hopefully that means I’ll run into a lot of smart Google engineers at lunches and happy hours. Those guys are always fun to talk technology with so I’m hoping for some brain-expanding chat from the Google side of the street.
But I won’t be able to partake in any of the delights of the Googleplex of course. Maybe just live vicariously through the Google employees.
Disclosure: I’m now working for Adobe as an evangelist on the Platform Team. I’m employed by Adobe but my opinions on this blog are my own.
