He was on board with the mob programming. Until we hit crunch time (which in this case was just working the 8 hours we were required to work) and I don't know what the hell he was thinking with blowing everything up. He made work so much worse for so many people. He just decided to burn everything down one day.

And I'm a full time employee of a consultancy company. So I don't find clients my company does and assigns me to a contract with them. I've been at my first client for a year but tomorrow is my last day before I switch to a new client on Monday. Consultancy is ok. I miss being a part of a product development team in house since I feel disconnected from the work I'm doing. It's temporary after all. But it's been a real nice break to decompress from the years of stress from the startup.
