This is why we are building Firefox OS we think that while OSs are currently locked down that it doesn't need to be the trend for all time.

Firefox OS, just like Firefox browser, is not aiming to take over the world and force everyone else out (unlike what our competitors would like in both cases.) We want to have an open platform that forces platforms to also embrace open standards. Shake things up and make them better for humans instead of only getting better for corporations.

Also a fun fact is you can setup your search providers with keywords then use them from the AwesomeBar, so you can get the unified bar feel.

  • Autonomy. I am part of a team and I am given tasks/bugs etc, but that doesn't mean I am not afforded a lot of autonomy.
  • I get a task and I can implement it however I want that meets the specification.
  • I can take the time to patch libraries to fix bugs rather than quickly monkey patch our code base.
  • If I notice chunk of code that could be useful on its own, and I am working in that area then taking the time to pull it out into its own code base and getting it distributable is an acceptable use of my time.
  • Trust and respect. This means a lot. This results in being able to ask questions whenever I need to without looking silly. That I will take the time to get something done right, but I wont delay a project because I am lazy or slacking off.

Overall, working at Mozilla has been the best experience I've had so far in the tech industry.

StarCraft 2 is where I spend a lot of my time with my friends an co-workers. I also play League of Legends when I need to unwind and want something less stressful than SC2.

A game I highly recommend to anyone who wants a fun game that isn't serious at all, is Orcs Must Die (1 and 2).
