I am an engineer at heart: I know a great idea when I see one, and I want to bring it to life. And if I don`t know how to do it yet, I will know it soon: my field is in constant evolution, and only continuous learning can ensure my continuous competence. I love hearing: I`ve got a great idea; I wonder whether it is feasible... All of my most successful projects were someone else`s ideas which I successfully implemented. (I also love hearing: Wow, you made that better than I ever thought it could be.) I prefer environments in which people bounce ideas off each other, this is how I get the job done. I believe in give-and-take. I also believe that there is no bad programming language/technology. Everything which came into being in the software development ecosystem is there for a reason and, surprisingly often, we get the job done by reusing ideas which have been shelved by the mainstream. ©
