Goodbye ThoughtWorks, hello Scribd
This is to inform the two and a half people reading this blog that I left my consulting career at ThoughtWorks for the Silicon Valley Internet startup scene, joining Scribd.
ThoughtWorks is by far the best place to be a software consultant, and I still love these folks. But commuting across the continent sucks, especially when one has teenage kids.
Scribd is a service that allows users to publish documents in a form that can be embedded directly into a web page. There is an interesting set of Internet-scale technical problems (that's Enterprise-scale * 10^3), and [hopefully] none of the non-technical problems that come with a consulting job. Definitely no travel (yay!)
Although Scribd is (naturally) in San Francisco, I am staying in Calgary, and my lunch schedule is completely free right now :) Feel free to give me a holler.

Hi Alex,
Welcome to silicon valley startups! I also left TW (after nearly 7 years there) last year to join a tiny, pre-funded startup in Mountain View (runa.com).
All the best, scribd is already doing great, I'm sure you'll do well!
Regards,
Amit Rathore
Wow! That's very awesome Alex! Good for you and congratulations. Scribd is a very cool site, great technology and a neat startup concept. I think they have a bright future, as do you.
Cheers,
Clinton
