Yeah, sure. So basically I was in RubyConf in New Orleans and it was, you know, hotel and conference and bar and all that, like all together and just walked into the bar. And I'd been friends with Chris Wansroth from GitHub for a while. And I saw the year. Oh man, 2011. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, it's easy for me to remember.

Not that we're into medical things here, but I had three hernia surgeries that year. Gosh, that would make it easy to remember. It sticks out. Yeah. It's like stuff that is not normal. Which one of these is not like the other years?

It was brutal. Yeah. And they told me the last one, it was like so bad. They're like, you're going to be back in five years. I'm like 10 years sober from hernia surgeries. So yeah, I'm living on borrowed time right now. But anyways, we were like, I went into the bar. I saw Chris, we started talking. We were just talking about like GitHub, which is, you know, maybe like 40 people at that point.

Yeah, that sounds good. So we did that and then worked there for seven years and then perfectly had a daughter in June of 2018 and went on parental leave and GitHub was amazing. I got five months off to full pay, do whatever I wanted. It's a long time. It's amazing. Yeah, I got four months with my son, who's like three years older. And I thought that was just like unheard of.

My dad, you know, I was born at like, whatever, 3am. He was back at work at 6am on the farm, you know, like, so that brain can't even compute. And so yeah, we... had my daughter and then two days later they were like, there's rumors about the Microsoft stuff. And then like three days after that, it was like announced. And then basically I went on leave.

And then basically I went on leave.

And then I, my last day of leave, I had a Friday GitHub and Microsoft closed the acquisition. And that Monday was my first day back the one after that. And I was like, sorry, I I'm out. And so that it just timing wise worked out. Like they asked me, I was like, I was totally planning on coming back. I was, I had no intentions. Cause I'm like, you never know what's going to happen with deals.

I'm not going to like quit in the middle of leave and have a deal and not go through or things like that. But yeah, so we were 45 through 50 early acquired kind of like a strike team. And then we all went our separate ways and worked on different things. But I think it worked out well for both sides. And so that's kind of like the very fast forwarded version of it.
