What makes me tick
I am motivated by efficiently building quality solutions in a positive team environment. 13 words to sum it all up. If all that happens, it’s like a perpetual motion machine of success.
There are several required elements of a tactical environment to make that happen:
- Work from home. Without commute times, you don’t have to sacrifice the rest of your personal life with the best hours of the day away from the things you love. Also, without distractions of water cooler chat, you can get (and stay) in a productive zone
- Focus. It’s impossible to build quality if you’re fragmented over multiple projects. Get on board with one major project and finish it before going to the next one
- Ruby on Rails. I’ve been developing server-side web solutions for 18 years, and RoR is the first framework that makes me regret the time spent on plumbing. Java allows good separation of responsibilities and quality code, but it seems so verbose compared to the strategy of convention over configuration.
- Mac OSX. A work environment that stays out of your way, with all the power of unix and awesome software.
