So Long CNET
Working for a corporation this past year was an invaluable lesson, but there’s only so long I can write things like this:
I can’t begin to express how much that this area fosters entrepreneurship and excitement in all things web. #
and not wonder why I’m still sitting in a cubicle. There was definitely something exciting about using a new technology (Ruby on Rails) inside of a company over 2000 strong, but there’s an extent to how far you can push it and we met our limit.
Chris Wanstrath and I felt compelled to strike out on our own, so we did just that. Err Free is our consultancy where we’re happy to fix all of the things you don’t like about your Rails site. We’re pretty good at what we do, so you may want to take a look.
More importantly, we now have the time and freedom to build sites we’re interested in building and helping improve the open-source projects we love.
Stay tuned for an exciting year and be sure to stop by Err The Blog as always. Better yet, buy me a beer if you’re ever in North Beach.
Congrats!
And props for the great color scheme! I have connections that can hook you up with a nice custom messenger bag in just those shades of black and pink if you ever feel the need for one.
OOh, will you do wordpress themes for hire on rentacoder.com? :D
Nice move. Inspirational to the other 7 of us corporate Rails developers! Keep us posted on your success and sanity.
Rails space just got more interesting…
Congratulations to the dynamic duo!
Congrats. So do you get to wear a non-corporate suit now?
Thanks guys. We love each and every one of you very much.
Good riddance!
I kid, of course.. lookin’ forward to what you guys can come up with as freeballers. Or should I say, free ballers?
Word.
Bummer for chowhound, good for you! That place shows all the signs of mismanaged disaster. Did they really make you write stuff like that? How does anything get done in that environment?
Best of luck with your new venture!
Excellent and good luck to you!
Right on brother.
