First Solid Thought Re: Working at Google

It’s been a couple of weeks, so I might as well voice a strong opinion:

Google reminded me what being around smart people is like. The kind where you walk away from lunch with two papers (given with a similar pride as with which Avi, my college dorm mate, would present his problem sets), or a discussion more informative than any lecture, or a book of 200 pages, explaining the details of that stumbling frustration you’d hit when you studied epistemology, or the kind of people that recognize that obscure neurobiological study about heightened activity in the hippocampus in London’s cab drivers.

Feels eery. And exciting.
