For my next trick, I will harness the POWER OF THE SUN!

In my previous blog post, I talked about finding a job with a positive impact on the world. 

Well, I'm happy to say that on Monday, February 14th, 2022, I will be starting at Sunpower as the Principal Software Architect(Titles/shmitles, I'll be the most senior IC). 

Sunpower is a company going through a pretty significant transition since 2020. They spun off their solar panel manufacturing, then the long-time CEO stepped down and was replaced by a new CEO Peter Faricy. The New CEO has pushed the company closer towards a residential strategy, and just this week, Sunpower announced it would sell the commercial and industrial business. Additionally, Sunpower has an aggressive plan to get solar into the hands of historically marginalized communities, and the program includes a strong mandate on D&I.

I am very excited to be joining a company going through a transition like this. Additionally, I am more excited to join a company that announces "MW Recognized" in its shareholder updates, proving that for the company to succeed financially, it has to have a positive impact on climate change, not just profit.

This is a new industry for me, and I am sure I will be learning a lot in the days ahead.

Keyboard shortcuts in the justin.tv / twitch.tv video player.

About a week ago I added keyboard shortcuts to the players, please note you have to have the player focused (click on it), and the shortcuts will not work in fullscreen mode (flash's fault). Up/Down - Volume change Page Down - Mute Page Up - Un-Mute Control- P - Popout Control-F - Fullscreen If anyone has ideas for keys, feel free to tell me.

And what's a decade it's been.

  A decade ago, I started at Twitch, and now my time here is ending. It has been an incredible ten years. Twitch has become a "large" company, and I find myself, after ten years wanting something different, something smaller, something like Twitch was in 2011 when I joined. I leave on a high note and will miss the most incredible job I have ever had. In my time at Twitch, I have accomplished much. I joined to write our Broadcast SDK. I wrote the system that until recently powered in-game drops, I rewrote our big-data pipeline (including writing  Kinsumer ), I collected two carrots and much more. My most significant achievement, and probably the thing I am proudest of in my career, is founding the Safety Product (now Community Health) org at Twitch. I was the first employee, and I leave it four teams strong with many engineers, product managers, data people, applied scientists and more. Safety is something we care a lot about at Twitch, and I'm happy to have had some impac...
