One Work Week Down... How Do People Do It?!?!

This working for a living thing is crazy! I'd really, really gotten out of the habit, and it shows.

It was an interesting week, and I know a lot more about the culture of the company now than I did four-and-a-half short days ago. I've been reviewing their software development life cycle and looking for places where improvements could be made. As a former Agile Manager, it's tempting to just say, "Go to short iterations! Introduce Automated Testing! Bring the product people in more!" But those aren't the kinds of solutions that would be palatable (or even necessarily appropriate) in this situation at this point. Instead, it's going to be quite the challenge to find the right sort of changes to suggest over the next five weeks.

But it sure is nice to be making money once again!
