puts 'Hello, World!'
After spending too much of my free time (and "work" time) reading blogs, I've finally decided to make my own contribution to the blogosphere.
About me:
My name is Maurice Codik. I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic, and now living in Seattle working as a software development engineer for Amazon.com's community content team. What's community content? We're the "Web 2.0" part of Amazon: my department owns customer reviews, discussion boards, lists and guides, etc. My particular team is customer media upload -- our platform allows customers to attach media to entities on the website. This is currently limited to additional images on products and a few other places, but give us some time: we're still a young team :)
Even though I'm not working for a startup, I like to think I'm an entrepreneur at heart. Everytime I read one of Paul Graham's articles, I swear it almost makes me want to quit my job and move to Palo Alto or something like that. A lot of the postings in here will be about technology & startup culture- Web 2.0, programming (especially in "non-mainstream" programming languages), software engineering, venture capital, marketing, business, etc. I'm sure there will be plenty of rants as well.
And for some context, here is a list of projects/groups I've worked on/with in the past:
Thats it for now-- stay tuned for more.

Hey, Maurice. Welcome to the wild, wild world of blogging, AKA killing time when you should be doing work.
Some of the guys at Rescom created a new RSO this year dedicated to web development. If I understand correctly, their server now hosts the SG and Marketplace sites. Your mention of Ruby on Rails reminded me because they're using it on the server. I hope they plan to overhaul the look of those sites, especially SG. Anyway…back to work.
Hey Maurice,
How do you like working for Sapient?
Yea, Sapient is a great place to work--
If you have any specific questions about it, shoot me an email.
