It's even still plausible if you just cut everything after the "because" from that first sentence. People leave large companies like Google to go work at start-ups where they believe they'll be able to have more impact all the time. It's certainly much more likely than your speculation that he was fired because of Python 3. Google isn't in the habit of firing talented engineers for idiotically trivial reasons so they can be scooped up by the competition. > I wonder if he's considered the possibility that Google may > swoop in an purchase Dropbox at some time in the near > future, and he could find himself working for google once > again.

What a ridiculous waste of programmer time that would be.
