Great Day

Every once in a while a software developer has a hallmark day.
Today was one of them for us and me specifically.

A while back my company developed a small little study aid for our own
personal use. It was a cue card application meant to allow me to study
French on my palm. After we finished the software we slapped our label on it
and sent it out to the world. We figured that the software could be a little
ad. for our company. Nothing major but something that showcased an easy to
use program we developed. Of course it was free for all.

Today we hit the jackpot. I think that if all else, if the company closed
it's doors, we would be a success in the mind of this CEO. Today a small
little school in a southern state started using the software to help it's
grade 8 class study math and vocabulary.

We didn't make a dime off of it, and lets face it not many of these users
will be our clients in the near future. But cash isn't really the only
measure of success, is it?

There is no doubt in my mind that to build a great company you have to be
truly interested in the success of the people your company touches. Be
those your staff or your clients, it's all about them. To have children as
some of the people who benefit from your companies product is beyond
measurable success for me.
