Lenn Pryor going to Skype

One of the first podcast show I listened too and still my favorite one was the old Engadget one made by Phillip Torrone and Lenn Pryor (here is one). Lenn was working at Microsoft as director of Platform Evangelism, and he just announced he’s moving to London to work for Skype.

He doesn’t say what he will be doing at Skype, just that it will be in the “product and services team”. Skype is really attracting talents. In Estonia it really sounds like Google from a hiring aspect. You just need to see some expressions in their job offers:

You have wet dreams about elegant C++/Python code and You think that UDP/TCP sockets are sexy

You are fascinated by numbers and puzzles
On your free time you are trying to find an answer to what-is-the-meaning-of-life question

Lenn will for sure come to Tallinn sometimes, maybe I get him to a Geek Dinner!
