Today was like every workday since I joined eBay nine months ago. Complex, challenging, and thought-provoking. Our data is huge, our customers are demanding, our competition is aggressive, and any improvements need to be implemented in a way that doesn’t disrupt the world’s largest online marketplace. I love every minute of it. Like most of my techie friends, I love tough problems — the provocative ones that answer every question with three new questions and steal part of your brain even when you’re not supposed to be thinking about work.
