I've always loved my work. At times I have felt disenchanted, demotivated and wanted to be indifferent but have sprung back towards it. Solid coding is one of the most satisfying things in life and one of the most nagging is when you think you should've done a better job. I'll always be a coder at heart though I'm a manager by designation. May be because of that, I've connected better with juniors in the team who are all eyes and ears; as they grow older in the org, many just want to be managers and wouldn't want to touch code(that's why I adore MK and wish all seniors were like him). But of all the young ones I've reared all these years, there are just a few who've impressed me totally and one of them is Guru and yesterday he resigned.
It was just a matter of time, anyway. He wanted to go 4 months ago and my boss and I had convinced him to stay. But it was a ticking bomb for me and I'm strangely relieved at some level that he's going. He deserves better than what we are giving him and I just smiled when he said he just wanted to explore outside and I should be ready to welcome him back anytime after a year. I've never been his manager officially but we've been a team for two years now, it was a great comfort to have him around, I know he'll do great and now I'm going to miss him badly.
I want to cry today. For a lot of undefined reasons.
