It has happened to a lot of technical people over the last year or two, and sadly I have joined the club. 

But instead of looking at it as an end, which is very easy, lets look at it as a new oppitunity, and a reset.

Dusting off the CV, and looking at the last four and a bit years of my career, what do I like, what did I not like and what do I need to change, well been doing lots of node.js, javascript and typescript.  but to be honest my heart is in dot net c# and the Microsoft stack.  So its time to renew my knowledge, being in a startup I found made it diffecult to take time to learn, so now is the time to do all those courses I thought about and look into all the technologies that have grown in the past four years. To that end I need a reference project.

Enter “My Job Board”, this will turn into, my own reference project, I am intending to build and deploy to multiple clouds a full (well eventually I expect) job board, with as many features as we can build all test driven, using technologies that interest me, so we may end up with multiple websites in different languages for all I know at this time, but the core will be Dot Net. for example I know AWS quite well, but I have not looked at Azure so now is the time, how do we deploy, and build intrfastructure on Azure? 

All this will solidify my knowledge of modern c# development, and infrastructure

This is the post of intention. 

So you can expect a flurry of postings while I pick this up, and of cause look for a new position, but there is a lot of new things to explore in the future so a reference project will give us a chnce to look at AI, payments, monitoring and alerting, infrastructure choices, archecture of the whole application, one repo or many for the code, the choices are endless, oh and of cause mobile apps.

I think this will be fun.
