On leaving Delicious
In short I am quitting my awesome job at Yahoo! working on Delicious and will be starting somewhere else next month.
Delicious has been one of my favorite web “properties” for a number of years and has influenced my work long before I started here. I’ve really respected my fellow engineers, managers and product team despite all the transitions we’ve had to bear. I am really amazed by how much everyone in our current team has changed over the year and a half.
Delicious has had it’s ups and downs, both as a team, as part of Yahoo! and even for me personally. Lucky for me, I stayed motivated the whole way through and I am glad to be leaving the party while its still fun.

I’m glad that your brain residue will live on inside Delicious, sitting in the code along with the zombie brains of other good people. You’ve helped make it great. Yay!
I just wanted to send you an email that I promised you long ago, and ended up receiving a “undelivered mail returned to sender” notice from the Yahoo mail server.
Wish you all the best for your professional and personal future — which seems to look quite bright according to the beautiful pictures on your Flickr stream
Cheers,
Michael
