Yesterday at work I found out that one of my co-workers, after working for about a year and a half, is leaving to go to Amazon in Seattle. He was originally designated to be my mentor when I first started and we spent time together outside work occasionally.
I also found out that the startup I was planning on applying to and the reason I was learning Clojure, Wit.AI, was acquired by Facebook. Yesterday.
It's time to find a new dream.
