What have I been doing lately?

It’s almost thesis season at ITP. So the second years have gone a bit rabid. For me it means answering a megaton of questions, putting out fires and working on two dynamic versions of the public projects site. That’s not too far from the norm though. The really neat thing is that I’m preparing to teach a course this summer! Agile Web Development focusing on Rails of course.

At first I was scared, and then I was even more scared. Now I’ve found my good luck charm. From Chad Fowler’s book My Job Went to India

“With all these wats to get your name and your voice out there, the most critical tip of all is to start sooner than you think you’re ready. Most people undersell themselves. You have something to teach. You will never feel 100 percent ready, so you might as well start now.”

I’m working on taking this to heart, and use it as fuel to make AWD a kick-ass class.
