The Flying Developer Has A Job!

I have a new job! This means that instead of being gainfully unemployed, I now get to spend my time working on Gazaro.com. I’ve not worked in a start-up before, and the atmosphere is a refreshing change. There are no clients to deal with, no stifling management to report to and tonnes of new technologies to learn. To give you an idea, here’s a list of all the new stuff I’ve worked with since I started there last week:

• Python

• Google App Engine

• Google Protocol Buffers

• Google DataStore

• Amazon’s SimpleDB

• Django templates

• Git

Feeling that my skillset was stagnating was one of the reasons that I left my last job, so being exposed to so many new ideas and methods is perfect. That’s all I have to say on the matter right now, but I’m sure I’ll have updates over the next weeks and months on any cool stuff that I do while I’m there.

Thanks for reading! If you like my writing, you may be interested in my book: Healthy Webhook Consumption with Rails
