Graham Glass on choosing to be Alpha Geek instead of CEO:
about a month ago i made the decision to bring in a seasoned CEO to run the mind electric. it’s always tempting as a founder to stay in the CEO role, but if you’re a technologist such as myself, there is absolutely no way to run a company and continue to play a lead technical role. in addition, i’m the first to admit that michael broderick’s CEO skills are way beyond my own! it is really great to be able to focus 100% on my lead architect role.
Graham also shipped GLUE 3.3 beta 1 on Friday and managed to get a Java app to compile with J# without any modification to the source. That’s definately better than J++ was. J++ makes me shudder. The Java JVM was about two times faster than J# for what it’s worth.
