Love it, I never went to school for cs, founded a company that did very well, and reached a point where I needed to move on. I was the chief geek, so the board wanted to replace me with someone credentialed, and all I heard from him during my transition was what a mess everything was. Not long after leaving they lost what I considered to be the best coders, because it is fun to code something up and deploy it, everything else can be labeled as work too easily.



Well, that proves...

Either you were so brilliant they were stupid to replace you...

Or you were such a poor software engineer you created something that fell apart in time.

Interesting how a similar sequence of events can reinforce everyone's existing opinion.


I never said it fell apart, it has continued to grow and do very well. Cup half empty?


What are you working on nowadays?
