Volatile and Decentralized: Do you need a PhD?
http://matt-welsh.blogspot.com/2012/03/do-you-need-phd.html
The Internet has nowhere to hide. Monday, March 12, 2012. Do you need a PhD? Since I decamped from the academic world to industry, I am often asked (usually by first or second year graduate students) whether it's "worth it" to get a PhD in Computer Science if you're not planning a research career. After all, you certainly don't need. Doing a PhD is certainly not for everybody, and I do not recommend it for most people. I think of the PhD a little like the Grand Tour. In the area of your dissertation work...

Volatile and Decentralized: Why I'm leaving Harvard
http://matt-welsh.blogspot.com/2010/11/why-im-leaving-harvard.html
The Internet has nowhere to hide. Monday, November 15, 2010. Why I'm leaving Harvard. The word is out that I have decided to resign my tenured faculty job at Harvard to remain at Google. Obviously this will be a big change in my career, and one that I have spent a tremendous amount of time mulling over the last few months. Rather than let rumors spread about the reasons for my move, I think I should be pretty direct in explaining my thinking here. As I've blogged about before. At Berkeley. I also adm...

Volatile and Decentralized: A modest proposal: SOSIGCOMMOBIXDI
http://matt-welsh.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-modest-proposal-sosigcommobixdi.html
The Internet has nowhere to hide. Tuesday, May 5, 2015. A modest proposal: SOSIGCOMMOBIXDI. I have a problem: there are way too many conferences to attend. Even worse, the degree of overlap between the systems, mobile, and networking communities means that I am basically running into the same people at all of these events. You have a problem, too: You are paying money (and time) to attend all of these separate conferences. Organizing a conference is also a huge amount of work, regardless of whether it's ...

Volatile and Decentralized: Running a software team at Google
http://matt-welsh.blogspot.com/2013/04/running-software-team-at-google.html
The Internet has nowhere to hide. Monday, April 8, 2013. Running a software team at Google. I'm often asked what my job is like at Google since I left academia. I guess going from tenured professor to software engineer sounds like a big step down. Job titles aside, I'm much happier and more productive in my new role than I was in the 8 years at Harvard, though there are actually a lot of similarities between being a professor and running a software team. We also work on the PageSpeed. Which applies to pr...

Intelligent Networking and Systems (iNetS) Research Group in the Department of Computer Science at Old Dominion University. Monday, October 28, 2013. ACM MobiCom and MiSeNet 2013. On first week of October, I attended ACM MobiCom 2013. And one of its joint workshops, MiSeNet2013.
