Ten years ago today, we were landing in San Jose, California to start our new lives. I’ve now officially lived longer in the US than in any other place!

Shortly after I started working for this very small “Java” startup, back when Java was super hot and somewhat mysterious (VCs would give you all their money, if you knew how to spell Java), I remember thinking “I can’t believe I’m here and being paid to work on cool stuff like this”. Granted I was not being paid much, but still, I felt very luck to be here. Good times.
