There are some engineers in São Paulo (and I think some in Rio?) but Belo Horizonte’s office still has the largest headcount for engineers, with a lot of work on search.

I’m a bit behind on my podcasts, but a small correction about Google Engineering offices worldwide: Brazil’s (main) engineering office is not in São Paulo, but in Belo Horizonte. It was created after they bought a startup spun out from the state’s University (Akwan) in 2005.

This is a dangerous slippery slope. IKEA smart lamps were my gateway drug into Home Assistant, mmWave sensors for presence detection and ESP32 gadgets to track energy and gas consumption in the house.

Of course I leave one day before the Switch 2 arrives.

I wouldn’t bring it with me anyway. 5yo is dying to play Mario Kart.
