Googler Defects To Twitter, He Tweets
Last month, Douglas Bowman, the design lead at Google, left to become the creative director at Twitter. Today, a former co-worker joins him. Dustin Diaz, who was an engineer working on Gmail, resigned from Google and announced he was taking a job at Twitter, on Twitter . “It’s kind of shocking we couldn’t keep him,” another Googler tells us, calling Diaz “one of the best frontend developers around.” But of course, Twitter is the hot new company, just like Facebook was months back when it was stealing employees left and right from larger companies — like Google. As he famously blogged about, Bowman took exception to some of the mentality surrounding design at Google, and cited it as a reason for leaving. As a frontend engineer, it’s certainly possible Diaz felt similar. He did, after all, author a book called “ Pro JavaScript Design Patterns .” Or, as I said, maybe he just wanted to go work for the hot company. Update : Diaz was nice enough to tweet us a picture to use representing his move. Crunch Network : MobileCrunch Mobile Gadgets and Applications, Delivered Daily.
