It's been almost two years since I posted anything here. In late 2015, things got really busy for me at Recruitics and, to be totally candid, maybe I wasn't sure what this blog is for.
So ... there's been a lot going on for me.
What happened since late 2015?
My department moved offices. Twice. We weathered a round of layoffs and rebuilt the teams that were affected. And we've made a ton of progress improving our applications and data processing. I joined Twitter. I became the solo developer of a new integrations platform that now handles over 30% of our data collection traffic and cost tracking. And in two months we launch a free analytics product that will change the competitive landscape in online job advertising.So ... there's been a lot going on for me.
What's next for this blog?
My original purpose for this blog was to contribute something that other software engineers might find useful. I posted a few technical commentaries on topics not well-covered elsewhere, and I wrote somewhat haphazardly about my experiences as an engineering manager. The blog never really got much attention or traffic; in retrospect I realize I am better at writing software than blogging.
I believe my original goal was good, and I'm going to give it another go. This time I am going to try to be more consistent about topics and content. And I'm going to be more open-minded and less judgmental about what this blog becomes. Happy reading!
