Having the ability to think of an idea, or better way to do something and immediately implement it and have an instant impact on the product does great things for ones passion and desire to contribute.Damonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553692682124327086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20646966.post-73254886960605231722009-02-10T13:39:00.000-08:002009-02-10T13:39:00.000-08:00Right on, I was another developer who abandoned th...Right on, I was another developer who abandoned the unnamed startup pictured above for those exact reasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20646966.post-29315351524927066592009-02-10T11:55:00.000-08:002009-02-10T11:55:00.000-08:00Good post Bruce.
