Best of luck and plase keep coming back!

Thanks Chris. I'm not going anywhere I promise!

Awesome news :D

Best of luck for the new role and thanks for your posts. They provided a great insight into a world we techies are so close to but never really see

Good luck Steve. On the few interactions we had you were very helpful and gave very good advice that I certainly appreciated.

Good luck and let me know if you solve the timesheet paradox

Who is this guy? Why should we worry about him hanging his hat?

I'm that guy. A bit of background info: http://voltsteve.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-experiences-as-recr...

tl;dr: I'm a former Tech Recruiter who contributes a lot on HN and had a lot of help and feedback from the community. Nothing major. Not quite on the same scale as Jeff Atwood quitting his job.

Oh, great. Pleased to meet you. Sorry if I sounded harsh, didn't mean to. HN is too terse to know a little background about news or people without resorting to following the link itself.

I for one will not miss the blatant pandering you espoused here, but wish you luck nonetheless. Hopefully your future contribution 'justifies' your remuneration in your next assignment.

Cheers

blatant pandering

Wow. Really? If you received as much benefit from this community as what I do, you'd pander too.

Having been watching your interactions on here evolve, I read your comments as a heartfelt thank you rather than as pandering. Apply the usual principle that those who disagree are significantly more likely to post than those that agree and draw your own conclusions.
