Take 2

It’s been a while since I last posted here, almost a year to be exact. Sure I could blame it on the fact I’ve been busy at work, getting settled in San Francisco, and working the night shift here and there. But that’s not 100% true.

I haven’t blogged because I wasn’t sure what to blog about. A year ago I moved out west to work at Apple and that was a big change for me (99% of my experience was developing for Windows & IT). In the past I mostly blogged about my projects and that just wasn’t going to happen anymore.

So I’m here to say that going forward I’ll be writing about my thoughts on developing great software. And by that I don’t mean the nitty gritty details of how to write a for loop. I’m talking about the people, thought, and discipline that it takes to build great bytes versus mediocre bits.

Now I’m not saying I’ll be right on any of this, everything is solely my opinion. Heck, if you try any of this you might just make The Office seem normal. My main intention here is to create some dialogue (so please comment!) that gets you (and me) thinking about the stuff that it takes to build a great software app, team, and company. So I have to say please do not try any of this at home the office… or if you do it’ll be at your own risk!

    Shannon, I love that you’re doing this. Kinda reminds me of the greatest coffee/failure quote I’ve ever heard…”DRINK COFFEE – do stupid things faster and with more energy” …only you’ve sorta added an ‘at your own risk’ disclaimer. I’ve heard that there is no avoiding risk and I sorta buy into it.
