Well, yesterday was my last day at Silver Bullet Technology. I would have posted this yesterday, but I was so busy trying to wrap things up on my projects, that I just didn&#8217;t have time. I ended up working pretty late Friday trying to leave projects in a state where other programmers can pick them up, and writing emails to those same coworkers describing last minute things that I had forgotten to tell them. </p>
<p>When you work for a small company for any length of time, you end up becoming the expert at way too many different systems and projects. So when you leave, it becomes a huge effort to pass on that knowledge to others. Especially if you don&#8217;t have a replacement to train. So my last two weeks at Silver Bullet involved a lot of documentation and process writing, as well as a lot of coding to wrap up projects. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m sorry to go, but it really was time for a change in my life. So I&#8217;m moving on. I still stay in contact with everyone at Silver Bullet, and I&#8217;ll still be available to them all via email or phone. But they won&#8217;t see me already there early in the morning, with the coffee already brewed. And I&#8217;ll miss having those first of the day discussions with each of my coworkers as they walk past my office. </p>
