Yeah, not having anyone to bounce things off of is definitely one of the downsides of being the sole programmer. I’m lucky that I have a great boss who’s very forgiving, but it’s still tough sometimes. In addition to web design/coding & PHP/MySQL, I also do print design—logos, business cards, newsletters, etc.—and it requires a massive shifting of mental gears to move between them. Buy, hey, at least it keeps me from being bored.

Sure sounds like it, yeah. I’m a big fan of my boss as well and he’s a programmer too, so that helps. He’s just not as familiar with the code being worked on as I am, since he has other duties and was moved in from somewhere else during one of the reshufflings that apparently happen every few years at the company. I guess that means a bit more job security for now, though.
