Title: ATARCalc creator hired by facebook!
Post by: enwiabe on June 12, 2013, 10:50:41 pm
Long-time ATAR Notes member and ATAR Calc creator Daniel Lo Nigro has just been offered a job as a software engineer at Facebook.

This is wonderful news but comes as no surprise to anyone who's known Daniel. He is an amazingly talented programmer, something which is clear to see in his work on the calc, and it's truly awesome to see his career take off now like a rocketship.

Congratulations Dan and on behalf of everyone at ATAR Notes, I'd like to wish you all the best for your exciting career! Please remember us when you're CTO of facebook and drop in from time to time :)

Congratulations mate! It was great seeing your talent and skill being implemented on my top 2 visited sites (AN and AtarCalc) and now you've invaded the third.

Again, congratulations and best of luck for all your future endeavours.


PS: Please give me the new facebook layout beta? Please? ;D

It'd be pretty cool. You couldn't get told off too much for procrastinating on Facebook. #1 advantage.

At least he can be sure facebook won't be blocked at his workplace.

Congratulations Dan!~

(Offtopic: I can't believe it's been five years since I last posted)

Six years ago when I first joined, (and this site had a slightly more dubious name) I'd come to know Dan as this incredibly talented programmer, who created the then-ENTER calculator, and had the sly feeling this guy was incredibly good and would go terribly far if he kept on working at it.

And now to hear this news is incredibly inspiring. Well done mate!

Did you notice something different about the place? We bought a new rug.

I feel like I belong in a museum or something.

I'm updated via facebook pretty regularly with site updates so I kinda know what's been happening.

But oh yes the forum does look a lot different - almost a complete renovation as compared to merely shifting the furniture around the house. Though I see we're still using SMF and the Karma system is still in place (which, as I remember, became rather farcical towards the end of 08).
