I got a new job! Well, new as of earlier this spring, anyway. From March 2016 to April of this year (2018), I worked at Mavenlink. In May, I started a new job as a software engineer at Benchling (I took some time off in between to travel to Spain and visit family). I’ll explain why I made the switch below.

At my job, we’re in the process of writing a library of shared React components. (This blog post deals with React, Ruby, and Selenium, but the concepts are applicable to anyone writing integration tests for a shared set of reusable components.)
