I had met the team in San Francisco last year and found them, to a person, cool as the Hawaiian tradewinds in December. The office therefore instantly felt like home. Getting to work for a San Francisco-based tech sector company is definitely something that's long been on my bucket list. Not that I'm dying or anything. :)

Community Development isnt really programing. Its developing the wiki like design, social media. ComDev is a division that houses people with a variety of skill sets. I'd say that those of us in SpecOps are a little bit more on the coding side than you might imagine. The innovative code for the current  Star Wars bracket system came outta SpecOps, for instance. SpecOps tends to answer the question, "How can we use CSS, JS and any other tricks we might know to help communities experience significant, or even explosive, growth?" So our coding is usually for stuff you can immediately see on the site. But it is true that we're not the ones coming up with changes to the core, functional aspects of the site's software.
