Answers from Luke
What advice do you have for someone who wants a job like yours?
I would tell her that it's a great career if you love new challenges and enjoy learning everyday. The ongoing education aspect of my job is what I enjoy most, and as my involvement in the open-source community increases, so does the challenge of keeping pace. Lastly, I'd say that keeping an open-mind to new ideas and new tools is critical. As soon as you start to reject new tools because you don't want to learn new programming languages or new development frameworks, it's time to find another path....
