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.
