I joined Sun slightly after Sun Quentin and from about that point on, it felt like a very different place. That is, very engineer-friendly and exciting, but I joined the tech workforce at about the time when you had to start being more bland and concerned with everything you did and said. I'm not talking about whining about politically correct things. I'm talking about simple sarcasm and humor or being just a little odd for the fun of it. It sounds like they used to be joyous fun times in the industry, but for most of my time, I've felt very constricted and aware of my every word. To the point that I wouldn't even, say, talk about playing video games, because you never know who might overhear and equate video games with being a child and wonder what is wrong with you. Still, I am grateful to have Sun on my resume and to have been there near the tail end of the good times. It is one of the most memorable periods of my entire life.
