Thanks guys - I had an “old school” moment and just started saying the right things I think.
Hoping to get a call back very soon

If you asked me at age 18 what my dream job would be, this one would have been the answer.
At 18, I'm pretty sure I wanted to work for the United Nations. I suppose insulting ugly bald Eurotrash on a forum dedicated to Japanese clothing is basically the same thing.
Good luck with the potential career change…

I agree - same thing 100%

Heading to the Schott sample sale this weekend at their factory.
It was awesome last year. Scored a really neat prototype jacket for myself and a leather jacket for the wife. Pretty stoked.
. I’ve gotten a few really great deals at that sale over the years. Not going this year,but you’ll be about 2 miles from my house in Cranford,NJ

@Appfaff I made a similar move last year, as others said they’ll be lucky to have you. Good luck.

Thanks @tvenuto - the whole "do what you love" thing turns sour after a little while, doesn't it.

Ha it sure can. “Being your own boss” has its downsides and hidden pitfalls.

I missed the original post, so a belated good luck to @Appfaff.
Speaking of careers, I had a meeting with a recruitment agent yesterday who has a potentially interesting role. It's with a startup here in Melbourne.
The trouble is that the CTO is a 22 year old "whizzkid", and although he's going to be heading overseas to do a PhD, he's possibly going to be involved.
What concerns me is that the first thing he did when he got hired was rewrite the entire app, because he thought that the old one was messy. Never rewrite working code is up there with never get involved in a land war in Asia. So I could see myself butting heads with him.
(I'm not sure that asking him to justify why he rewrote the software will be a good interview question either.)
In fact, I'd argue that the way to run a good software team is to have good processes in place (coding standards, documentation, testing), facilitate communications between people, and have decent, stable tools. This isn't as sexy as hiring the mythical rockstar programmers (I don't think that I've ever met one), and using a cutting-edge technology stack, but this boring approach will get better results than 90% of development shops out there.
