Bye Yahoo!
Today was my last day at Yahoo. I’ve had a terrific time working there with all the incredible people and projects over the past couple of years. It was tough for me to leave, but I’ve decided it’s best for me to go on to “pursue other opportunities”. A special thanks goes out to Bradley Horowitz who was kind enough to mentor me while I was there and to Caterina Fake, Chad Dickerson and Raymie Stata who were mentoring me implicitly through their actions. Also, I’d like to thank Pasha Sadri for inventing Yahoo Pipes and I wish him the best of luck with his new company!
There are far too many people that I owe thanks to at Yahoo, and I hope we will cross paths again in the future. You all are the company’s greatest asset.
One of the many things Bradley taught me about working for large companies is to try to leave everyday knowing that you did all you could to make the place better. It’s an ambitious standard to live by and I hope my time at Yahoo improved the company.

Ed,
It’s been an honor working with you, and you’ve inspired me and everyone else in your orbit. All the best and stay in touch. You’ll be sorely missed.

We will definitely miss you, Ed. I don’t think I’ve ever worked with someone who conducted himself with such class and dedication. I’ve learned a lot from you.
Please do stay in touch!

Oh, man, but who will I lose to in Mario Kart? (Well, other than “everyone else”)
Thanks, Best wishes, and you’ll be missed.

Yo Ed,
It was excellent to work with you on pipes.
I’ve learn a lot from our interaction and I sure hope we will meet/work again in the future.
All the best,
