One year ago from yesterday, Derek Jones started working full time for us.  That’s when it all started going wrong.  I stopped going into the forums as often to do support.  Bugs were being fixed magically without me figuring out why they even existed.  Add-Ons were approved without me lifting barely a finger.  New code got written without Rick and I doing anything.  And during all of this work that happened without us doing it, we still somehow got pay raises.  Is this what it is to be a CTO and have employees?  Nice!  Still, there is a slight downside to having employees.  Paperwork.  Oy…

Congrats Derek!!!

Oh, and Paul, with all that new free time (a whole years worth) you must be ready to release that eCommerce module I would imagine. 😉

Congrats Derek!!

Thanks for the superb support! I love the way it’s going now, all questions are being answered fast and correctly.

And indeed, i think that the free time Paul has now are being used to make the best Ecommerce and 2.0 EE with features we couldn’t imagine 😉

Congrats Derek!!!

Oh and Paul now I understand why you have all that time to take pictures and post them on Flickr :cheese:

Congratulate Derek!

Thank you very much for the max support and the vocational precision.

Best regards
Richard

Congrats, and a _huge_ thanks to Derek for all the work he’s put in around here!

Congratulations, Derek!

Well done mate!

I guess your World Domination Summit is coming up too… Any chance of letting us know what we can look forward to?

Congrats Derek!!!

Oh and Paul now I understand why you have all that time to take pictures and post them on Flickr :cheese:

LOL, Veerle!

Thanks everyone for the kind words, especially the rest of the fantastic gang at EllisLab.

Congrats…does this mean another week of vacation?  😉

Derek is even more excellent because Paul said it.

Has it been a year already? Holy cow Derek, Congratulations! Nice move by EE to bring you on. Smart, very smart. 😊

Derek, congratulations, and hope you are enjoying it as much as people are enjoying your presence.

Architecture:  always a very useful, and very valuable thing.

Best regards,
Clive

A heart-felt congratulations Derek, and an extra special thank you for personally bailing me out of at least a predicament a month over the last year. You are making some pretty amazing things happen at “the lab” and your contributions are both noticed and greatly appreciated.

Keep up the great work!

...and would the rest of you please stop bugging poor Paul about the commerce module. He knows, trust me he knows,. .  I’m sure he wants the darn thing released as bad as you and I. I’m confident that he’s building something pretty amazing that will make the rest of us look like rock-stars when we roll it out to our clients, we just need to wait a bit, and trust that he’s working on it. Good wine takes time!
