Two months ago I was fired by Google for creating the Google Workspace CLI. It went viral, hit #1 on Hacker News, gained thousands of GitHub stars and many thousands of actual users in just a couple days.

It was an incredible, confusing journey, from directors and leaders asking what they could learn from the tool to getting grilled by legal about why the Google logo and brand colors are on the Google Workspace GitHub code repositories.

I think the cause was that Workspace and certain leaders (and projects) were afraid of being disrupted. But the fear wasn't specific to my CLI, it was a broader fear in what agents meant for Workspace. Either way, the irony of my termination was the announcement at Google Cloud Next two days before I was fired that an official Workspace CLI was coming.

I want this out there because it is easier for me to explain my story and it is an experience I want to fully own. It's also part of my healing.

Nearly 7 years at Google was an incredible opportunity for me and I was fortunate to have wonderful teammates and a manager that fully supported me through these last few months. Thank you.

@nanbuya_towada 台湾人だけど、なめこの味噌汁が本当に大好き！前のスキーシーズンに泊まった民宿で出てきて、これのおかげで元気に滑りに行けたんだよね。ただ、台湾ではなめこってあんまり馴染みがない（受け入れられにくい）食材な気がするな〜。

@songxiaxinglu @daihonyaku 一個從來沒統治過台灣的國家，一天到晚聲稱台灣是你們的土地…這對我們來說就是侵略，別講的那麼好聽…

@icao Why icao don't include Taiwan? For coronarovirus containment, Taiwan need more information. I think icao is not service for special country right??

[BlackCatCW @BlackCatCW1]

@icao please stop to excluding #Taiwan because we are not a part of China, and China can not provide correct information of Taiwan that will be a global problem about coronarovirus containment
