Coming in from the cold
After about five years of consulting full-time, I’m excited to be starting a staff engineering position at Privy, a shop focused on enabling small Shopify entrepreneurs to grow and thrive. It’ll be good to explore something in depth instead of just all breadth, and the folks are lovely.
The season is turning, as often it does in Colorado, approximating autumn by pulse width modulating between winter and summer. It’s 90F! 40F! 90F! 40F! And soon it’ll be in the teens. Historically this has been rough on my mental health, but so far this year I’m holding up a lot better.
Every day with the kids is adorable, precious, exhausting, astonishing. The cliché of rapid growth makes for small talk, but actually watching your kid get better at something every single time they try it is endlessly impressive. And yeah, they’re taller daily.
It’s conference season, and I’m slowly moving towards actually attending things again. This past ElixirConf was in Florida, which I skipped in solidarity with the folks who aren’t safe traveling to or living in Florida, but I’ll make it to Rocky Mountain Ruby, and am open to other stuff as it comes up. Hoping next year will be more prolific on my part.
It’s quiet, this life, but it’s good.
