I pretty much dropped out of the tech world in 2005. I had a nifty little job that could have been huge but the manager I was working with at the time chose to stay local. I don’t blame him and I don’t blame many people for not wanting to think in terms of scale of business when they make an ecommerce site. From 2005 to 2014 I played with tech but never sought to make a living off of it really. In many ways, I am glad that I have done this. I am not rich, by any means, but I have been able to live with myself. There is incredibly so much BS out there these days, it is almost impossible for an executive that is in budgetary control of IT hiring to weed through it all. The same was the case from 1998 to 2005 too when I was actually “working” in tech. If you type in “wordpress” for job search keywords it comes up along with all the acronyms for the underlying programming languages and technologies. Not many hiring managers think about how wordpress can be optimally fit into an organization. If it is used properly, it is a very powerful tool. Really, what managers should be looking for is the ability to fully control all aspects of cPanel. Then, after that, you ask the person what he thinks of wordpress. Each non-hired moment leads to waste and each hire that engages in bad decision making leads to waste. Well, people love waste. It staggers the mind to think of the amount of money in flux each day regarding these personnel decisions.
