4.0 A place to explore, a place to make a difference posted on November 27, 2006

I've been a developer for over 20 years and Red Hat is one of my top two jobs (the other was where I was the boss). There are a number of reasons, but the fact is that productivity is valued and meaningless process (i.e. TPF reports :) is almost non-existent. There are lots of interesting projects to work on and Red Hat makes it pretty easy for someone to shift to a different group. Add to that the fact that management understands Open Source much more than the management of other companies and you've got a great place to write software and learn about new technologies.
