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.

Yesterday as I left work it dawned on me that I had been in the San Francisco Bay Area for a year. It is one of the most drastic changes in my life since going to college.

I remember announcing to my family that Katie and I were moving to the Bay Area as I had accepted a job at Yahoo! working on one of my favorite web sites, Delicious.

The decision to move, the actual move itself, the settling in period, exploring the area, meeting friends new and old… it was all an adventure. The question everyone asks is how’s california… it’s awesome… even after a year.
