Exciting changes for me

  • Artigo

I've changed jobs.  Well, sort of :)

For the Whidbey product release I was the performance architect on the CLR, and I can't even start to tell you how much fun that was.  And how educational it was.

So the bad news is I'm not doing that anymore.

But the good news is that The Powers That Be have asked me to continue doing what I do for the whole of Developer Division, not just the CLR.  So me and a few colleagues are going to be driving the same kind of performance culture and practices that we used on the CLR throughout the division.  It's a big challenge but I'm looking forward to helping even more people here at Microsoft and in turn even more of my customers.

Wish me luck!

P.S. The diabolical laughter you hear is me :)

    Funny you should say that. Which side of The Force do you think I'm noted for using? :)

    As long as it doesn't cut into quality time at home.
    Since it's a Friday announcement: do you start the new job on Monday or in the new year?

    Technically I started when Whidbey released. In practice it was well after that but still a little bit ago. It's just that I prefer blogging about parsers than reorgs :)

    Congratulations!

    Always good to read your column. I can only imagine it will get more interesting as the scope of your purview expands.

    Congrats again.

    Is there anybody on CLR team that's going to be replacing you? Are you given the ticket to build a team of "perf watchers"? Could be really interesting job and change in process.

    Gee, it sounds a lot more like Vincent Price than you, but I'll let that slide. ;-)

    Which side of the force?

    Naturally, you would profile both sides, and then use the one that is more performant.
