A few weeks ago I got a great opportunity. Telerik <\/a>contacted me, and we had many great conversations in the weeks that followed. I like to talk. They like to talk. We almost shared BFF hearts.<\/p>\n Look, this company is a market-leading provider in tools for agile project management, collaboration, development and testing,- so I was very flattered of course. But for me the people involved and what they stand for is what really counts if you want to count me in.<\/strong> I\u2019ve had great jobs, and shit ones. The deciding factor greatness vs shitness lies with the people, beliefs and passion. I had already talked to quite a few of the developers when testing some beta components and I was impressed with the support (even when I had complaints), and as I got to meet even more team members I got a little Telerik crush going on.<\/p>\n I called my parents in the middle of the night. My dad doesn\u2019t know what I am doing, so explaining \u2018Telerik\u2019 and \u2018Evangelism\u2019 ended up being translated as me working for a phone company, and something about blogging about weird religions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n But in short, I love passionate people that really love what they are doing with an unstoppable drive to do great and be great. It felt like home and I wanted to move in. And so I did. We never shared a BFF heart, by we added each other on skype and exchanged paperwork. That\u2019s the grownup way to BFF somebody I\u2019ve been told.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.irisclasson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/telerikLogo-web-1124x449px-1024x409.png\" "\\"Telerik!\\"")
