Josh Duff

I like to work on boring-sounding business software that people use to get their jobs done.

I prefer to work as a project manager+developer, interacting directly with customers and translating business requirements into deliverables.

I've worked for employers with 10-40 developers that shipped buggy software slowly. I've worked for employers with 2-4 developers that shipped great software reliably. I prefer the latter.
