Where would Yegge go?

We know how he feels about Amazon ;) Somehow I don't think MSFT is going to be a fit for him either.

Oracle? Perish the thought.

Facebook? Maaaaybe.

There are precious few companies out there who give the amount of freedom to engineers that Google employees enjoy. For all its problems, Google is still one of a kind - unless Yegge wants to play the startup game for a while.

He can always start or join a startup. He's a well known and well respected engineer. His name on the corporate letterhead guarantees at least a years funding if not more.

Also, if you looked in the comments of his G+ page there was no shortage of job offers there.
