Ryan, I learned a lot from you. Both as a professional, manager and engineer. You will be missed. I'll be asking myself "what would Ryan do?" a lot.

You long term impact to Roblox has been tremendous. Thank you.

Hey Ryan-

I'm gonna miss the weekly therapy 1:1s you provided me. I have no doubts that your guidance and wisdom are what kept me grounded on this roller coaster of a job I ended up at. I'm going to miss having you around to steer me back on track, look at the bigger picture, and of course just breathe.

Keep us updated on what happens next so I know where my next roadtrip will be :)

Ryan, it has been a pleasure working with you, I hope you enjoy retirement. Try not to think too much about Gigya and all your other contributions anymore :)

Hit me up when you are well rested and looking for an adventure!

Ryan, it was pleasure working with you in the original API team back in 2016. We had so many white board sessions imagining all the APIs that we can expose :D

Your impact on the company is tremendous. Roblox is going to miss you a lot. Thank you for all the things.

Best of luck in the future. Stay in touch!!!

Now you get to spend time bikeshedding on the floor plan, your gear, your backyard setup, etc. And there's absolutely 0 outside pressure to get any of it done! Besides you wanting to get to your own goals, of course.

I learned a lot from you, hope you continue to grow in new ways because I'm still going to be coming back for you in the future. Hope to catch you on some wild adventures!

Have a great time exploring home automation and your other hobbies. Thank you for all the amazing xbox advice, you will be tough to replace. Also, scaring the crap out of me when I first joined Roblox (wasn't far from the truth). I am definitely hitting up your campground and catching all the fish in that lake! Will see you in the bay soon.

Dear Ryan,

It has been an absolute pleasure working with you.   All the contributions that you made were building blocks to get us to where we are!   So grateful to call you friend.

Please scope out the nearest Chicago Dogs place to Pikes Peak!....   Maybe we will just have to meet in Chi-town!

Enjoy your next adventure.  Can't wait to hear all about it.   I expect to see you as the high score on ALL the games in the game room!  Wishing you much happiness ahead!

With your long new beard, we hope you're ready to lead a new band of unruly interlopers. However, if the woods aren't everything you hoped for, or the natives turn on you, we'll be here, ready to plan the next phases of world domination with you.

It was pleasure having those special lunch meetings with you long time ago. You've helped create something big for Roblox.

Enjoy the journey that is ahead of you; it is probably very different than what you could've imagined when you joined.

So long and thanks for all the fish :)

Ryan, I can still remember interviewing you and leaving the interview (it was a tag team thing, I can't remember who with) and being like "OMG! This guy would be awesome to work with!"  Many years later, I can safely say, you did not disappoint. Whether tackling tough problems together, or going toe-to-toe in Backend Guild meetings, it was always a blast.

Here's to many great memories! Best of luck!

I hope you are getting some good climbing in wherever you are or at least enjoying the outdoors! I will miss seeing you around - next time I am in Colorado I will swing by!

Ryan, I'm so glad I got to spend my first year at Roblox working with you. You're represent the absolute best of this place and we will miss you.

I wish you mountains of happiness in whatever you choose to do next.

Those memorable conversations that we had during our 1:1 sessions will forever be in my memory. As I'm writing, we still have our last 1:1 and I can't wait. But I'm also sad that it will be our last one.
Hope to visit you one day!
You will be missed.

Ryan, this was us a scant 20 months ago, on our first BEDEV2 onboarding session. It took literally all week, it was incredibly rough. But we learned so much. Now those courses are self-service and hundreds of people have run them.

20 months before that, we were all in a tiny, under-ventilated office in San Mateo. Trying to figure out how we could possibly keep this system scaling, working to figure out how we could get Roblox to 100M people. Today, we've doubled that, we're looking to add a zero.

20 months before that, we sat at a desk trying to sort out how we could unit test the UserFactory. What black magic would be needed to enable us to inject CommunitySift Client without blowing up the universe as we shipped this to every service in our system. Today, this is a service, our largest one. Heck so is CommunitySift.

60 months, that's 5 years on an epic, once-in-a-lifetime journey. On a rocket ship that hasn't stopped accelerating. TY for keeping the rocket ship going. 🚀🌔

Here's to new adventures 🍻. I look forward to seeing your "custom laser-etched hardwood smart home kubernetes server cabinet"... or whatever you do with your future workshop. May all your days be full.

Ryan was really great working with you, we sure had a great time I already miss our team random conversation topics on the cafeteria :). Wish you the best on your future endeavors, I know you gonna do great. You got my number don't hesitate giving me a call if you in the area.
- Raul

Ryan, thank you for the opportunity to learn from you across three teams and many years. And thanks for not sending that pesky intern that occupied your desk half of the day away because they couldn't ship services by themselves. :-)

Much luck on your (initially relaxing) path ahead! Looking forward to Half Dome next year.

Hey Ryan, I was very looking forward to working with you after our chat when you interviewed me. I am sad that won't happen in the immediate future, but I hope our paths cross again. I had a feeling you were great to work with and based on all the things people have said, it looks like my feeling was right. Good luck!

I really enjoyed having you as my manager, and you were a large part of why I wanted to return to Roblox! Thank you so much for all the wisdom, hilarious analogies, and advice. I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing time ahead :D

Hey Ryan,

I remember first hearing of you in a townhall where you spent a Saturday fixing a int32 overflow on some table after it overflowed and I thought to myself, that's a hardcore engineer. And then I got to interact with you a little more through Bob when you were on the api team and then through Jan on DevServices. Since then I think we've spoken more about stuff not related to work and I think I've enjoyed our drunk amateurish physics conversations a lot! With that, I'll remind you to hit me up when you have an explanation for the delayed choice quantum eraser that fits your constraints of reality :D

Keep in touch and I totally hope and expect and to see you again!
- Kush.

Ryan!!

I really enjoyed having the chance to work with you as my manager these last few months.

It's been great getting to learn from you.

Will miss our 1:1 chats - your perspective and your grounded, thoughtful advice on so many topics has been invaluable.

I hope you have lots of fun and that you get to create all of the things you want!

Glam RVs, robots, whiskey, woodworking, etc!

Looking forward to potentially seeing you around the next time you're in the Bay Area! :)

Dear Ryan,

Even though I did not work with you for a long time, I still remember you asked me "do you think what is PaaS" in my interview of Roblox. Still want to learn more from you.

Enjoy your next journey!

Bummer that we couldn't work together before you left, but thanks so much for hopping on all those meetings and always being a real one!

We only got to work together for a short period of time, but it was still exceedingly pleasant :) Best of luck with whatever you decide to do next! I'll come check out your campsite and/or farm!

All the best,

Thanks for everything you've done here. It's been great working with you and I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavours.

Excited to see how your software hiatus goes, and look forward to seeing what you do next.
