End of an Era

Last week marked my last day Runtime Collective (now Magpie). I had worked there for just over four years, and it was my first job after university, so I left with mixed feelings. Sad that I was leaving what I knew behind, but at the same time felt it was the right time to leave. It’s been a good four years, especially watching the company transform from a consultancy to an ISV. I had a great opportunity to work on their Search and Alert product from the get go, which helped me expand my programming beyond just the web and databases.

What made my mind up was when our London office was closed. The main office was always in Brighton, and try as we might, we never got the London operation going, the offices were just too close together. But so it’s not forgotten, I took some pictures of those final days. :)

Thanks to everyone at Magpie (past and present) for the chances they gave me and I wish them all the best in the future.

    It will be interesting to see where S&A goes without you.

    Hey Ben,

    Long time no hear. How are things up in Bradford? Maybe we should make exruntime a place to reminisce like Xooglers. ;)
