Blog Update

Well it's been a crazy couple of months for me since I first started the work of moving everything to the new blog. I've actually been promoted twice(!) at my employer in that short period of time. First I was promoted to the position of Architect. Then a few weeks ago, we broke up our engineering team into several streams and I was put in charge of the Core Product Development team - which basically means that I get to work solely on all the cool stuff. All of this happens during really interesting times for our little startup as we're working on some really exciting stuff and with some great companies.

The downfall to all of that is that this poor little blog has been neglected right out of the gate.

But I'm back now and ready to start posting about some of the trials, tribulations and hard-earned lessons that I've experienced as a web developer. I've just killed the old blog and initiated a re-direct for the old domain name to point to here. This week I'll be posting some of my personal philosophies about programming as well as some of my frustrations of what I have to deal with when interviewing potential Rails developers to join my team.

It's about to get fun (finally!)
