New Job
Its been a while since my last post! Some of the reason is that I went on an intense 3 week job search, followed by a new job that I started on Monday. Its weird that I really enjoy interviews – but they did drain my energy levels substantially.
I’m still working as a senior software developer in a team environment (pretty much my goal for this job). I’ve been picking up a lot of new stuff, as the job involves getting back into the ASP.NET world that I had left behind a few years ago. My first task is to design and implement a new claims based (federated) security system that works across a multiple tiered application. Its fun, and I’m making good progress. Yay.
It is also interesting to be in a new environment that tries to be Agile, but is much more limited by environment than it was in my previous position. I hope I will be able to improve what they have started, but for now I have been just observing.
My biggest shock on the new job so far? Seeing VSS again, in active use. Ouch. Its a very Microsoft-centric shop, so at least they are looking at TFS.
