I have probably been busier the last four months than any other time in my life. I have not had more billable hours than usual, but I have been doing a lot of learning, debugging, learning to better debug problems, and organizing. For years I had been talking about improving my PHP and Javascript skills but as much reading/training as I did – nothing really sunk in until I found the right project to help me along and to motivate me like I wish I was years ago.
I just wanted to take some time out and thank three people in particular – Demitrious, Ken, and Brett (you know who you are!) for believing in me and being patient with me as I learned.
Demitrious showed me the way, never gave me the quick and easy answer (well maybe once or twice after driving him crazy), and always made me think about the big picture and made me get comfortable with everything uncomfortable.
Ken always knew how to do exactly what I needed – and then I learned by example, read more documentation, and made things cooler then ever before.
Brett actually never questioned if I knew how to do something – he just knew I would get it done, and done right.
Without you guys – I would probably still be relying on others instead of doing it myself. So thanks…I appreciate it!
