I didn't want to lose my sense of myself in my profession.

I don't believe in balance, not in the classic way.

You can wear ruffles; you can be a jock, and you can still be a great computer scientist, or a great technologist, or a great product designer.

Shifting toward management meant greater responsibility and influence, but it also meant giving up programming day-to-day in my role, which was hard because it took me out of my comfort zone.

I love Google. I was there for 13 years, and if you told me I'd be as happy anywhere else, I would've probably doubted it. But I am as happy, if not happier, at Yahoo.

I think that ultimately over time we really should strive for a place where most information is available online and is searchable.

I think that for me, it's God, family and Yahoo - in that order.
