My web 20 experience


If i were to answer it in one line it would be "i eat my own dogfood".

I have been an enterprise guy who developed software and threw it over the wall to the QA and finally customer and all i was interested in, was in solving technical challenges. I was never responsible for keeping them running and understanding how to make them better.

As part of building and running apigee i realized the value of eating my own dogfood. One cannot build and run a website based business without understanding all different metrics associated with it. Apart from creating technology i am interested in understanding what features get used often, which part of the system is getting stressed under what conditions and the user behaviour.

In short I am much more agile, motivated and a better technologist than before. It has been hell of a ride with plenty of battle scars to go along with it and i am proud to say "I eat my own dogfood".
