Personal

I posted a tweet today where I comment on how I try my hardest to separate my work from my personal life.

I don’t talk about my place of employment, the work that I do (beyond sharing some code questions from time to time), and try my best not to rant about a specific industry.

From time to time, even with my best efforts, I have pissed off a few people by what I’ve written or said in public, off work hours, away from my buildings.

In my tweet, I said that I feel I do a better job of separating the workday from personal life than our government does in separating church from State. I hope my efforts are enough, as I certainly don’t intend to piss anyone off by my technical reviews, code sharing (never trade secrets), or other rants.

I am extremely passionate about the work I do – more than that, the industry for which I’ve made my career focus. Some shifts in how business is done or public misinformation about my industry breaks my heart, but I carry on. I do my best to educate without mixing the paycheck-generating business with my own opinions.

I hope you all enjoy reading my posts; I hope some are valuable in educating my audience, entertaining some and purposefully annoying my detractors.

At the end of the day, I simply want to remain productive and proactive in the industry that feeds my brain and my family.
