Ode to a tech team

Some people just never get credited for the amazing work they do. I’ve been thinking for a while now about writing a ‘thank you’ note to the people that really made my work-life smooth, easy and fun in the last 3 years.

To Benoit, Vincent, Mathieu, Didier, Mikhail, Daniel, Richard :
Thank you for your ever-positive attitude in an incredibly stressful environment
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with such generosity with me
Thank you for your unlimited coding and architecturing creativity
Thank you for your team spirit (probably the hardest thing to find in a… team!)
Thank you for always saying “hmm that’s tricky but let me check and get back to you” instead of “no that’s technically impossible” (AND getting back with a smart solution :)
Thank you for sharing your screen, keyboard and vital space :) during our pair-programming sessions

I find this quote from Mark Twain perfectly applies to you guys : “They didn’t know it was impossible, so they did it”

It’s been an incredible adventure, thank you for that, I’m not sorry it’s over, I’m just glad I was part of it.

Keep going
