Friday was my final day at Flock. It also brings to a close my eleven years as a software test engineer.

In January, I'd just completed my graduate school entrance tests and essays -- but school didn't start until September. So, after meeting Lloyd, I joined my friends at Flock.

Although I'd worked at two start-ups before, I had never worked at a startup at such an early phase. In the early days of Flock, we worked (and slept) in a converted garage. Our server closet could be found in the bathroom. Janitorial service? Roomba.

As I leave Flock, I am proud to see the same exuberance and scrappiness. But, I see it in the context of a larger, well-oiled team. Everyone understands exactly what product we're making, and we know how we're going to get there.

That's why I leave today both excited for graduate school -- and excited for Flock.

P.S. Especially now that I'm gone, don't forget the 3 Golden Rules when working with QA.

It is good, and it is time to choose that every one wants to earn much money, but senior players is not a blind, one time they will come back. In order to play the game well, so I have to buy the silk road gold, I use them can buy a lot of things what I want. And I can buy props and equipment to become stronger, but it is only the senior players can do it.
