Top posts for the month of February

I started up the blog this month, initially with a focus on recording my own personal thoughts. As the month has gone along I have received great feedback, both directly on this site as well as on LinkedIn and Facebook. Thanks to all for your participation.

Here is a quick run down of the five most popular post this month, based upon the number of views for each. Feel free to keep passing the link around, subscribe to the RSS feed, or simply popup back when you have time. I’ll be posting daily as I have no shortage of topics I’m anxious to write about.

• Steroids for developers, don’t tell A-Rod.
• Why waste time testing, developers can deliver 0 bugs…
• Tips for Staying focused.
• Win the lottery, choose the right startup

Why blog?

For the last 8+ years I have worked as a senior engineering manager for SAAS applications built upon the Microsoft technology stack.    I am currently the VP of Engineering for Swimfish (http://www.swimfish.com) and was previously the CTO for Sonicbids (http://www.sonicbids.com).

This blog is being written primarily for myself, a way to reflect further on current news and events that I am seeing both in the local scene as well as globally.  If anyone else finds value in this, enjoy.

Best,

-John
