Why geeks change careers

I recently exchanged a few good emails with Joshua Fruhlinger, a journalist. He was working on an article for IT World about the reasons people might stop working on Microsoft tools in favour of open source solutions like Rails, WordPress or Drupal. The article came out today and I’m happy with it. My contributions are on page 3.

Thanks Josh!

I am hearing more and more geeks changing jobs, regardless of the current economic “situation”. I’m really happy that Josh focused on the role of fear in starting Unspace. Fear is a natural motivator, and on a base level it’s fear that keeps us growing.

Any readers recently switch jobs? Are you glad?
