Plan B

Adieu, Sun

Today (Friday, the 29th) is my last working day at Sun. My decision to leave Sun is purely due to local conditions and I remain immensely proud of Sun as a corporate and an engineering company. I'll make sure I stay in touch with Sun through OpenJDK, NetBeans and OpenSolaris. And I hope to return some day to a even more strong and successful Sun. Meanwhile, I'll watch in quiet amusement from the sidelines as Sun pounds its competition with disruptive innovations. To answer the (recently) oft-repeated question - would I recommend Sun as a company? Of course I would. It is arguably the most contrarian, free-spirited and open (in every sense of the word) company in its space. Go Sun!

In closing, I'd like to thank my colleagues (and my manager) at N1 SPS who taught me what good engineering is, and made my stay at Sun truly special. 

All the best, Sun.

 
P.S: My blogging bursts continue here.
