>> Like I really, I love to code, so I've always sort of like been drawn to that.
I was a physics major at Pomona and I took a bunch of CS classes on the side.
I was really drawn to like the mathy, puzzle solving part of the programming so, yeah.
That's the underpinning, that's sort of like all that I like to do in this job.
And beyond that though I really like the hours, the flexibility.
So I run the company with my co-founder and so we have not total flexibility,
because we obviously have our own bottom line.
We can't just completely blow off work whenever we want but we sort of can at the same time.
Like we get to choose the jobs we want to work on and we get to choose when we work on them
to a large degree and very frequently where.
So a lot of times we get to work remotely and I've, like I've spent a little bit
of time this summer working in Europe on a project
for a New York company, so that was very nice.
We sort of always have our eye on lining up new contracts and stuff like that to work on,
but we're happy to [inaudible] when we're in the middle of a contract, when we're really just got
to like sit and focus, code for people,
help them sort of like realize the project they want to build.
Help them, guide them to actually completing it.
I don't know, it's around like about a third of our time is spent sort of like focusing on ways
to grow the business and the other two thirds ish is spent on in the middle of contracts
or sort of like training other developers or something like that.
We have a lot of, we try to use the unstructured time between contracts also to work
on our own projects or like contribute back to open source projects and stuff like that.
That's another thing that's really nice about the job is we sort of try to build
in the flexibility to keep learning at our own pace with whatever we're interested in.
