Hopefully with my new awesome job, I’ll have time to continue blogging here, but a couple quick hits about my impressions thus far at Acquia.
- Acquia has really smart people running the show. Everyone, even the non-techies are really techie.
- They really take care of their people. I’m totally free to purchase whatever technology (within reason) that will help me do my job. They get it, it’s pound foolish to keep gadgets away from geeks.
- Chris really pushes scrum hard. We set our own limits, and we spend a lot of time planning for contingencies. It’s tough, and annoying, but it is reality, and I like that I am forced to be real before problems occur, not after.
- Acquia Drupal needs more adoption. I don’t know when the pickup will happen, but I really encourage Drupal shops to start using it. I fully believe there is a huge ROI here, and it will be healthy for the ecosystem
- Kieran is trouble, don’t go drinking with him (but do go)
