Hear Me Say

Ridin Rails

As many of the millions of you out there in leebankewitz.com land already know, I have recently begun working at a web startup.  All of your inquiries into how it has been for me are appreciated, and I apologize for the lack of response on my part.

I knew when I accepted this job that it would be a demanding position. It has lived up to all my expectations.  The occasional twelve hour day, with most evenings spent reviewing code if not actually writing it, has been my introduction to life in a start up.  Add to that my additional effort to get up to speed on the technology, and a very big chunk of my time is spoken for.  But reminding myself how vested in the success of this company we are has been a great motivator.  I’m really enjoying my time on Rails, too.  I spent the early part of my career avoiding web programming like the plague, after a horrific stint in Java web programming back in 2003.  Rails has made the transition back to the web an enjoyable one; something I thought was unlikely.  Anyway, I miss you all and will find time for each of you :)
