You may know that SourceLabs hase employed me for the past two and a half or so years. But today is my last day at SourceLabs: my plans are to travel, take some time to think and adventure, and I plan on continuing to work on little projects and prototypes – that’s just what I like to do.
It’s been a crazy time here at SourceLabs, in most ways I couldn’t imagine a better job: design and build a website and then run and grow it. SWiK has grown from a small prototype I wrote 2 years ago to something that is serving 125+ pages on open source every minute to about a million unique visitors a month.
When SourceLabs started it was an idea with no name, and I started talking to Byron (SourceLabs CEO) about his ideas for a public community oriented website about open source software. After a while SourceLabs picked up a name, an office, we stopped meeting in coffee shops and out of our houses and got an office in Seattle. SourceLabs has come a long way since then, and I recommend highly the startup experience.
I’m going to try posting more often on my blog, however if you want to keep receiving new posts you might want to double check which url you are subscribed to and make sure it’s http://feeds.feedburner.com/AlexBosworth – I’m probably going to switch over to the domain I snapped up recently: alexbosworth.net (nothing there atm). I need to figure out blog engine stuff before I post over there, but if you subscribe to the feedburner feed you won’t even notice.
Anyways stay tuned I will probably continue to churn out little projects and such you may be interested in, or points on development, tech, and other fun stuff.
