And I believe I&#8217;ve succeeded. I&#8217;ve told a ton of data-driven stories spanning software development in all its forms, be it DevOps, Big Data, mobile app dev, or Java app servers. Now it&#8217;s time for me to end this story and move on to the next one.<\/p>\n<p>Since <a href=\"http:\/\/redmonk.com\/dberkholz\/2011\/12\/09\/the-littlest-monk\/\">starting at RedMonk<\/a> in 2011,\u00a0I&#8217;ve deeply enjoyed interacting with all of you. It was truly a dream come true \u2014 I never imagined I&#8217;d be able to combine my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/dberkholz\">weird backgrounds<\/a> in journalism, science, and software into a single job. Working with the RedMonk crew, both the more public and private folks, has been a pleasure over the years. Huge props to our analysts Steve, James, and the GreenMonk Tom; as well as our account manager Juliane and admin Marcia for all their help and support. And I want to give a big thanks to Steve for the kind <a href=\"http:\/\/redmonk.com\/sogrady\/2015\/03\/27\/donnie\/\">send-off<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, thank you all so much for the opportunity. It&#8217;s been a blast, especially hanging out with the RedMonk community in person at the Monktoberfest, Monki Gras, and ThingMonk. If you want to reach me in the future, <a href=\"mailto:dberkholz@dberkholz.com\">dberkholz@dberkholz.com <\/a>works, as does my Twitter handle <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dberkholz\">@dberkholz<\/a>. As usual, I probably won&#8217;t answer my phone so don&#8217;t bother calling.<\/p>\n<p>I hope to see you in the future over a beer, coffee, or other tasty beverage.
