## Who I am and why I wrote this
After growing up in the digital context that seems to be becoming known as the [[golden age of the internet]] as experienced from [[Argentina]] around the turn of the millenium, I joined Google in [[2012]] believing the [[founders]] cared about the health of the internet and the good of society ahead of profits, and showed it through their public actions and their treatment of employees and users. Google used and developed open protocols like [[XMPP]] and [[WebRTC]]. Google contributed to [[open source]] and the internet [[commons]] before it was cool. Google proved that companies could treat their employees very well -- clearly better than average! high-percentile-well -- and still make a more than sufficient (i.e. a shitload) of money.
I'm a random nerd who got lucky, as many I know :) After growing up in Argentina in the digital context that seems to be becoming known as the [[golden age of the internet]] as experienced from [[Argentina]] around the turn of the millenium, I joined Google in [[2012]] believing the [[founders]] cared about the health of the internet and the good of society ahead of profits, and showed it through their public actions and their treatment of employees and users. Google used and developed open protocols like [[XMPP]] and [[WebRTC]]. Google contributed to [[open source]] and the internet [[commons]] before it was cool.

So why be evil, indeed, if you can be good and get away with it? Make money while still increasing total utility and happiness?
