Last month I took the decision to leave Peach and move on to a start-up company called Toowist. It was a tough decision for a number of reasons: I have some good friends at Peach and I think it's a great place to work. Unfortunately, I wasn't coding very much at Peach and I've come to the conclusion that I am, at heart, a developer.
I have been working at Toowist for 2 weeks now and the days have flown in. I have been plugging into Spotify and churning out code, which is pretty much where I am supposed to be.

Toowist is a tourism company based around providing socially sourced travel guides. Obviously there is much more to it than that, but here I am interested in talking about the code. The site is going down the web application route and it's been awesome working on a system where the front and back-end are totally detached.
Working with bright people is always a pleasure and it very much helps whatever project you are developing, it's vital though in a small team of three that everyone gets on well and are pulling in the same direction. Again, I think we've been fortunate here in that we are agreed to release code early and often so we can learn from mistakes and take on-board feedback.
To summarise, all is busy and all is well. Long may it last.
