As the community manager then and head of community now, I've had another year of being able to learn technical products and help people use them and understand them. I still get to write code that demonstrates what Pinata can do and snippets to help make it easier to use, which I absolutely love. Pinata took a chance on some guy who used to fetch shoes and take phone calls, and because of that I've been able to relocate to a better city where I can raise my family for which I am incredibly grateful. Sitting down to work each day is exciting because I know that I can learn just about anything and I can teach it to others.
