Technique and grace: You treat your products like highly functional works of art
You are the Dr. Strange of Web Development -- minus the goatee -- weaving intricate technical spells with grace and power, always elegant, always for good…
Your past experience allows you to tap into the knowledge of Wordpress, PHP and Javascript, where you will help maintain and develop Goalcast.com in this battle to remain cutting-edge and user-friendly.
You will also use your honed skills to project yourself into the future, as you map out a multiverse of possibilities and chart the best technical evolution of Goalcast.com.
Visionary: You are always looking for a better way to do things
You will be the cartographer of this future and architect of its plan. Welcome to you, our resident Web Dev Wizard, always elegant.
What elegance means in the here and now is economy of code; you bias towards using the best of what Wordpress has to offer if it means it does enough to fit a need. You reserve your technically solid and impeccably clean custom code for when it is necessary, and you don’t use a firehose when a water gun will do. You build and maintain a site that is fast and works, and has a solid UX.
What is the future of Goalcast.com? What site designs are inspiring you? What technical platforms should we use? What is the most efficient path to building a world-class content site that doesn’t require a reinvention of the wheel and can easily be maintained and expanded upon in the years to come?
Be the change: Do you take ruthless responsibility for your reality?
Do you imagine a world where we’re all more trusting, more truthful, more aware, more fulfilled? Are you constantly looking for ways to create the positive change you want to see in the world through your gifts and talents?
You go beyond the trappings of blame, scapegoats and denial that are keeping you trapped on the surface, trapped in a prison of your own making and away from what truly fulfills you. You own up to the responsibility of creating your own destiny, and act upon it.
Seek discomfort: You look for your deepest fears so you can plunge into them head on
Maybe you can only sense it, but somewhere inside that darkness, waiting to be nurtured, is the seed of your future self. You love to break into yourself and plunge deep, deep inside the dark earth inside you, and get to work.
You are not afraid to get your hands dirty; in fact, you enjoy it, humbling and uprooting yourself to get to the source of whatever problem is holding you back from achieving the next level of growth. You crack open the darkness of closed-mindedness to let in the sunshine of possibility.
Authenticity: You’re a straight shooter who’s not afraid to get vulnerable in front of others
You know that truth is the only way forward. You seek it in yourself, and you’re not afraid to speak it. You challenge your own truths all the time, and you won’t shy away from healthy dialogue -- with yourself and others.
You also know that the basis of strong relationships is trust, and you choose to lead by example. You give others the benefit of the doubt, and focus on seeking different perspectives while shoving your ego to the side.
Together, we break out of our old selves and walk this clear path to success and consciousness, unlocking our potential while helping others do the same.
