I chose Ryan and decided to do a survey, on Survey Monkey,with multiple choices about his personal preferrences. Here is the result!

Given my recent inclination towards frontend development I chose Ed Fuhrken, DO’s current front-end handyman, and asked him a few questions about his job, his experiences as a web developer and how it all fits together; here are a few of his answers.

How did you first get in to programming?
I had to take a programming class in school and my teacher said i was good at it. Also making my myspace look cool when I was 16.

Would you say you enjoy your work?
Most definitely, its rewarding to see the results of hard work.

Do you still learn new things?
I’m always challenged to learn the latest concepts and overcoming obstacles in building sites.

How does working at DO compare to work you’ve done previously?
I’d only ever done freelance work before working here. Working and collaborating with a team is important and I’m happy that I ended up here specifically cause everyone is cool and knows their stuff.

What are your thought on working for a smaller company like DO vs. a big-name software developer?
I enjoy having a name, not a number. I feel like i’m part of the company more than just a programmer.

To say the least I was happy to hear the answers I got, and I definitely agree that having freedom within your job and being challenged to learn and overcome new things is important. I find myself in a similar mindset as well in that I like to see something tangible. It’s always rewarding to know that a piece of code you’ve written works correctly, but to build and polish the finished product of an application really is exciting to see.
