New Job

Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!

Tomorrow I start my new job as a XHTML/PHP Developer for a local company. While I don’t want to give any details about what/where/who it is (in fear of getting Dooced), I will say I am very excited/apprehensive. The summer before my senior year of college I am starting a job that has the potential to set me off on the rest of my life (life after school, that is). Well, that and the fact that for some reason I get very nervous driving to unknown places for the first time, and they are moving to a place that in my head is a terrible place to drive (not NYC). That will subside in time. I am more concerned with “Will I be good enough?” But I suppose they would have not hired me if I weren’t.

I will less than likely write about work for the aforementioned concerns, but I will say what I can when I can. As for now, wish me luck on my first day as a psudo-real person! Later.

  • Are Content Products “Real” Products to WordPress Developers?

    I’ve been a developer for 20 years. I’ve been a content creator for almost as long…but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I started making more money from my content than from my development work. 

    Both are crucial for a growing, vibrant WordPress community. But to some, it seems the job of development is more important than the job of content creation. Here’s why those people are wrong.

    Earlier this month I finished Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and was absolutely enraptured by it. I loved both Recursion and Upgrade, and decided it was time to read the book that put him on the map. On Bluesky, I shared that immediately following Dark Matter, I decided to read Seth Godin’s This is Strategy,…
