I Quit My Job At Dropbox 2 Weeks Ago

I no longer work at Dropbox since Jun 15th. There wasn't anything bad about my leaving. I wasn't fired. There isn't any drama. It just wasn't a good fit (to use that cliche term they love out here in The Valley) and I felt it was time to find something more challenging.

Don't read into that though. Dropbox has a lot of potential and if you want to work there, then go check out this job that they're promoting.

What's Next?

Rather than gossip about what's essentially a minor event in my life, you should go do something cool. I plan on dropping a major feature of Mongrel2 this weekend, assuming I can get the code right. I'm also going to play some guitar and try to get through my Bass Method book and learn "It Had To Be You". Maybe I'll see Toy Story 3, I hear it's good.

My current plans regarding employment are very simple right now:

  1. I believe Mongrel2 is a bad ass project.
  2. I'm going to work on it and use it in a bunch of stuff over the next month.
  3. At some point, I'm going to try to find a company interested in paying me to work on it for them and truly open sourcing it.

That's it. That's my plan right now. When that plan fails, I'll start looking for a new gig to pay the bills. If you got something interesting that doesn't involve me being a system administrator, then shoot me an email and I'll chat with you about it.

That's it. Enjoy your weekend.
