ByeBye
Well, these lines are for sure not very easy to write.
As of October 1st, I will not be a Liiper, Liiparanian oder whatever anymore. After 3 years, I thought I’m up for a change. 3 years. A quite common time to stay at a tech company..
I probably don’t really need to talk about the details of me leaving Liip – the thing is just, that I grew out of it. Things changed, I changed, Liip changed – and at some point we diverted onto different paths. As you may have noticed, my aggression level rose with the ongoing work with customers who didn’t seem to have even the slightest idea of what we were doing. This has nothing to do with Liip – but with the kind of companies. I had to learn, that I don’t want to work at a consulting agency anymore – or informally said, I won’t play a code whore any longer :) This might change one day – never say never.
I really enjoyed my time at Liip – I didn’t always enjoy the projects, but who does. I hope Liip grows and gets friggin huge or whatever the plans are with Liip :) I wouldn’t wanna miss a day I spent at Liip together with a few very inspiring people. I learned a lot and I hope somebody learned a bit from me, too.
I’m currently training 2 very fresh minds at Liip to get up and running with the day to day business – which I enjoy a lot. Seeing others getting into Liip, all fascinated and deadly tired after each day – reminds me of my first days at Bitflux, 3 years ago..
Liip gave me the great opportunity to work part times, 50% studies, 50% work and when I had some tough times at ETH, I didn’t have to deal a lot with customers. Thank you again for being so flexible and giving me the chance to get some motivations for my studies. If it wouldn’t be for Liip, I wouldn’t write this blog and would have missed a chance to meet a lot of very interesting people.

Future?
I don’t really know, where this is all going. For the time being, I will work on a handful very interesting projects – sorry, NDA here. In September, my ETH studies will continue after my 1 year absence. My interests have shifted a bit and my vision of where I want to go became clearer in this year – all in all, I don’t regret postponing my studies – but I’m eager to get going again.
Besides that, there will be some other announcement coming – sometimes around October – about projects and things like that. I hope you don’t mind me delaying everything – but the last few weeks/months were a bit tough.

Conclusion
1. I’m still coding – like crazy.
2. Thank you, Liip

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
