Just a small announcement:
Starting today, I am now “MySQL Database Architect” at Twitter, where I am joining some old friends on the small but hard-working DBA and operations teams there. I’ll be working to help debug, support, and scale the MySQL databases, of course, and who knows what else. I’m looking forward to the challenges and fast paced operations again. I’m also looking forward to writing a lot more on this blog about MySQL. I’ve had a Twitter account for a long time, but I suppose I’ll write a lot more on it now:
Since I will now be commuting from Sunnyvale to San Francisco nearly daily, I think my old “Commuting” category will get more of a work-out too.
Congratulations. That is a great opportunity.

Congratulations! I’m sure you’ll have many challenges and great satisfaction.
Congratulations. We’re eager to read posts about other MySQL hooks they use at Twitter :)
Congrats!
Make us proud.
Congrats! I hope you’ll be able to share a few use cases with us.
….do you remember the whale picture when twitter was over capacity ?…. not anymore, because Jeremy Cole is on board
Congrats Jeremy !!! and good luck.
yeah, make us proud!
Is this purely a DBA role, or will we see a “Twitter patch” of MySQL? After all, you are the only “community contributor” to MySQL 5.0, there is some history to live up to.
Wow, excellent news for both you and Twitter! Congrats.
Good luck. Twitter rocks!
Damn, here go all the Twitter jokes. Have fun, over there, will you?! :-)
Congrats!
