Innovate or Die

Well, my time with the NBA.com development team is drawing to an end.  My contract was up at the end of September and I got notified it was extended a month last Friday. So I was happy for the weekend.

But, I had already interviewed for another job, and after careful consideration, decided that I would take it, if offered.  There were things there, that I wanted to learn.  And today it was.

I like where I am.  I prayed about it.  I thought about that every time I think about being ABLE to specialize in something, I get driven back to the generalist role.  And then the thought came to me that I could come back someday.  “Better. Stronger. Faster.”  I will know what drives the industry that monetizes a web site.  I don’t know that I will, but it’s comforting now, because I liked it.

I think sometimes that you’re guided to the point that your will and God’s will are the same, if you’ll be quiet and listen, and maybe this is one of those times.  I owe Him the benefit of a doubt.  At least I can still have lunch with my old team. 🙂
