moloco
I joined Moloco more than five years ago (in 2017). I remember we were about 20-30 members at that time (not only engineers but all employees). Now, I heard Moloco has more than 460 employees globally; so impressive. Even though the recent tech downturn, we're on track and

4. Monument Valley To many gamers, Monument Valley reminds a faerie game that was developed by Ustwo Games in 2014. So, when I heard there was a real place named Monument Valley, it attracted my attention, and it was also a great chance to visit there because The Valley was

3. Arches National Park The way from Bryce Canyon to Arches National Park was about 4 hours and a half drive through I-70. The road was imposingly well-managed (and another unexpected credit for the Red State), and I was surprised by its speed limit of 80 mph (130 km/h)

Setting out on a road trip on Thanksgiving has gotten to my family ritual since we moved to the US - even though the tradition started just last year. Last year we ran over 2000 miles through Las Vegas and Grand Canyon. We decided to complete the outer Canyon loop

In Western culture, it is rare calling a person only by appellation without a name; maybe, "Your majesty" or "Your highness" would be in those rare cases. But in Asian culture, calling an elder's (or superior's) name could be considered rude. So,

South Korea made the best 16. The dramatic goal at 90+1 min and the 8 minutes of long waiting for injury time of the Uruguay vs. Gana match finally made Korea proceed to the knockout stage. It was 2002 - Korean and Japan World Cup. I've been
giants
2022 was a disappointing year for Giants fans. It must not be only me who thinks so. After having a fantastic season in 2021, everyone might think this would be the beginning of a new golden era, which it was not. I loved the 2021 Giants, not because of the

I attended Programmatic IO 2022 NY last month. It was my first time in NYC and even my first in the US East. I arrived at SFO around 5 am, a little tired but also excited. The airport was already full of people. It's already normal; I couldn&

Elon Musk finalized his $44B deal last Thursday. He brought a sink to Twitter HQ last Wednesday. I'm not sure what he wanted to sink in, but I got that he thought Twitter was stuck with something and wanted to show off himself as a savior. Many worried

Every October in the Bay Area starts with Fleet Week SF. It is now a family ritual to visit the SF Pier area during the Fleet Week season, and I can tell the highlight of the event is the air show by Blue Angels. This year, we wanted to have

Last week, I came across an article about harsh comments on LinkedIn. It was an acute accusation but interesting to me because I had never met with such bigots on LinkedIn. I have some principles on Social Networks. The most strict one is on Facebook. I think Facebook is the
49ers
Last Sunday, I went to Levi's Stadium for the 49ers' home opener. Since I came to the Bay Area three years ago, I got to love to watch football games on TV and became a 49ers fan. So, I decided to visit Levi's Stadium and
