Might as well get started +somewhere, like a brief summary of what I have been working on lately. + +--- + +It has been far too long since I last wrote in this blog. I always have these aspirations +of writing all the time about all the things I am working on. The problem generally comes +back to me not feeling confident enough to write about anything I am working on. "Oh, a +post like that probably already exists", "There are smarter people than me out there +writing about this, why bother". It is an unfortunate feeling to try and get over. + +So, here is where I am making an attempt. I will try to write more, it'll be healthy for +me. I always hear of people setting reminders in their calendars to block off time to +write blog posts, even if they end up only writing a few sentences, which seems like a +great idea that I indent to try. + +Ok, enough with the "I haven't been feeling confident dribble", on to what I actually have +been up to lately. + +Since my last post I have a new job. I am now Senior Software Engineer at +[underdog.io](https://underdog.io/). We are a small early stage startup (4 employees, just +over a year old) that is in the hiring space. For candidates our site basically acts like +a common application to now over 150 venture backed startups in New York City or San +Francisco. In the short time I have been working there, I am very impressed and glad that +I took their offer. I work with some awesome and smart people and I am still learning a +lot, whether it is about coding or just trying to run a business. + +I originally started to end this post by talking about a programming project I have been +working on, but it ended up being 4 times longer than the text above and have decided +instead to write a separate post about it. Apparently even though I have been writing +lately, I have a lot to say. + +Thanks for bearing with this "I have to write something" post. I am not going to make a +promise that I am going to write more, because it is something that could easily fall +through, like it usually does... but I shall give it my all!
