Hi folks,In this episode I say a tearful adieu. I have taken a very exciting new role at Sourcegraph, and I only want to talk about that from now on, so I'm semi-retiring this podcast.I will release a few episodes a year on this channel, and I will likely put more work than usual into them, so stay subscribed if you would like to see occasional new drops on this channel.Thanks so much for listening, and I hope to see you all on my Sourcegraph talks!Cheers,Steve

I didn't have a fixedagenda and just let the conversation roll. Jeff talks about quitea few topics near and dear to his heart, especially hardware andcolocation. He also talks about his $10k bet with John Carmacko...

Today I talk about how (and why) after 2 years of really enjoying retirement, I've decided to go back into the industry.Feel free to give this one a pass if you are looking for something more like one of my usual "tech talks". This is basically a status update that was suggested by next week's guest, while we were recording.
