I cancelled the presentation as there was simply no point. I've got no problems with giving presentations as long as I'm confident with what I'm going to say (which is NOT the same as being full of bullshit!).
I really like the people I'm working with here, but their software development practices and the quality of their code and products is quite poor. Most of the time I was wrestling with the crappiest monolithic code I'd ever seen, crap tools and crap processes -- rather than being truly productive! It was challenging but for all the wrong reasons. What lured me here was the promise of a product rewrite which turned out to be more aspirational on their part and a year away. Can't stay on the promise of things improving so far down the line.
New job starts two weeks today. I had to extend my insurance to cover business trips on the bike which will happen now and again. Claiming mileage expenses will be a completely new experience for me!
Still twiddling my thumbs obviously...
