This was posted in 2010. A little long-winded for sure, but it's good to hear someone would have such positive things to say coming out of a 12-year tenure at Microsoft (I have a few friends headed there after graduation).<p>I remember reading this post of his titled "Ten Things I Hate About Working at Facebook" (<a href="http://worldofsu.com/philipsu/2012/08/ten-things-i-hate-about-working-at-facebook/" rel="nofollow">http://worldofsu.com/philipsu/2012/08/ten-things-i-hate-abou...</a>). It does sound like he's having a blast there- it'd be interesting to read a follow-up comparing the two companies.

FYI: If you fast-forward to 2013, Philip Su is now heading the Engineering office at Facebook London. He's a really nice guy and great culture fit for the company.<p>Source: I work at FB. Also, just use the Googles...

One theory was that he was the original Mini Microsoft. No clue if true, but the quality of mini's posts dropped around the same time he left.

There is so much damn advice that comes down to "be awesome, don't suck." It's not interesting, we need more advice for those that aspire to be average.

I clicked the link thinking of another article having opinion of how Facebook is becoming more like Microsoft(not hot, not cool). After reading the article though, it felt good that people working there have good feeling about Microsoft. I have lots of senior friends going to Microsoft this year.

His August 2012 post is a little less than positive -- <a href="http://worldofsu.com/philipsu/2012/08/" rel="nofollow">http://worldofsu.com/philipsu/2012/08/</a><p><i>edit</i>: I'm an idiot; brain fart on a Saturday at the office

He gave a great talk at the HNLondon Meetup on Wednesday. He's a really entertaining speaker:<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/60896034" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/60896034</a>
