Starting from this January we are undergoing some changes. We’ve just moved to a twice bigger office, but that’s not all.
Shal
Unfortunately, Shal Jacobs, the main developer of our project management software Factory Nova, has decided to pursue his own project and has left Stuffed Guys around Christmas. He was planning to do this for several months, so it didn’t come as a surprise. But certainly this influenced the schedule of the beta version of Factory Nova.
For 2 months I was working on finishing Factory Nova myself. That was an interesting experience for me. I worked some insane hours every day (I think it was around 18 hours every business day, plus a little less on weekends). After I was returning home in the evening, a new working day was starting for me.
New PHP developer
That wasn’t that bad (except the absense of free time), I had some great time programming interesting stuff, I’ve managed to achieve some good progress with the software. But then we were lucky enough to get a new experienced PHP developer on board and now the future of Factory Nova is in good hands (we are really close to finishing beta.. no, really!).
The new developer had to spend several weeks on learning how things already work in FN, but now he is working on the list of the remaining bugs and features at full speed. The new interface is also almost implemented, our designer started working on the fancy icons and I hope that soon I will be able to show some fresh new screenshots.
Slava
In January, we’ve also got one more developer on board. I want to introduce Slava Snakin who is now working on the hotels reservations system which we’ve developed and are now maintaining for our friends in Skoosh International.
+2
We also plan to hire 2 more developers in the next 2 months. One for our Perl-based projects and another for our PHP-based projects. If you happen to live in Moscow, read this blog, have a good great knowledge of Perl or PHP (or better both!) and might be interested in working with us, please feel free to contact us.
The new PHP developer will help us to work on our products and improve the speed with which we release the new versions (this will become especially important with the release of Factory Nova, when we expect our load at least to double).
Coming up next: what’s up with Stuffed Tracker.
