Sometimes life Zags
My first start up experience has finally come to an end. It is a great product that had very bad timing. I expected us to weather the storm, but I did not expect my last day to be last week. I put in some crazy hours, worked around multiple changes, and made some friends along the way.
It hasn’t been a lost because I’ve learned the following:
- Things can change in a heartbeat.
- Preparation can be tedious, but it is less painful than being caught off guard.
- Nobody really fully understands javascript, but it’s not that hard to learn.
- Internet Explorer sucks, but its quirks can be worked around.
- Ruby on Rails can be a lot of fun if you take some time to get into it.
