Moving On From MongoDB
The last seven years, I have worked with, and for, MongoDB. I have seen it grow from a small start-up, then called 10gen, with fewer than a hundred people, into a NASDAQ listed company with over a thousand employees. But now, after all these years, it's time for me to move on.
I've learned a lot, and I have worked with very good people. In these seven years I rewrote the PHP driver (twice), wrote an HHVM driver (remember HHVM?), and implemented time zone support in the MongoDB server. I will be leaving the PHP driver for MongoDB in Jeremy's and other colleagues' capable hands.
I have come to greatly admire both the engineers at MongoDB, as well as the technology that we all created. I am a big fan of MongoDB, and will continue to speak and write about it.
What's next for me? That I'll explain in my next post.

All the best with your future endeavours!
If you are interested in a more aquatic experience/lifestyle than London affords, you are welcome to join me in mastering the sailor's trade. Who knows, we might end up organizing a 'coding and sailing' academy? :-) :-) :-)

Finally A Photo Of A Cetti's Warbler
I have heard their songs countless times — they're very loud! And seen fleeting glances if then before. But finally one decided to almost pose on this branch in the reeds of the WWT London Wetland Centre, right in the city.

Great Egret Has Caught a Fish
A bit in the distance, but the first time a got a reasonable shot of a Great Egret at WWT Arundel. It had caught a fish, which it then proceeded to eat. I love its green eye. Hopefully I get to see it a bit closer at some point.
