A wise man once suggested that one of the steps in teaching yourself programming involved working with people better than you. (See Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years)
Even though I feel I’m a pretty competent software developer, I’m very excited to join another developer for which I have a truly profound respect. I’ve only recently made the career move of working on the web full time, and this is a great opportunity for me to kickstart this phase of my career by working with a Rails / REST / jQuery guru.
Starting today, I’m working for GiraffeSoft, with James Golick. We’ve wanted to work together for a while, and the stars have finally aligned to make this possible.

Wow you really hit the jackpot : “50% time [...] to work on whatever he wants”
Can it get any better ? I’m guessing not.
And it’s hard to guess what a move to a better job could be.
Anyways to make you feel even better, I’m quite jealous of such a green job-land.
clap-clap-clap… Félicitation!

Thanks for your thoughts, JP.
I’m looking forward to chatting about how this is going. Unfortunately I’ll probably miss the next Montreal on Rails, due to a bit of vacation time :-)
Ahhh, life’s hard ;-)

Merci Alex :-)
Rafraîchis ma mémoire: c’est bien à toi que j’avais parlé de Montreal on Rails? Si oui, j’étais bien déçu que tu ne viennes pas :-)
Je pourrai pas être présent au prochain événement, mais ça serait cool que tu viennes faire un tour un de ces 4… C’est plein d’autre monde intéressé à Ruby et Rails. Le groupe est vraiment cool.

oui c’est bien moi,
c’est sur je viendrais, je n’avais pu me liberer pour cette date. Entre ca et Montreal Python il y a des choses interessantes.
A bientot surement!
