What’s next for The Pragmatic Engineer? @GergelyOrosz, founder, shares his vision for even more ambitious research and a Pragmatic Summit on each side of the Atlantic: "So the interesting thing is if this was a VC-funded company and I took VC funding, I would have to expand, but I don't. The only plan I have is I would like to make the Pragmatic Summit more regular. There was one in February in San Francisco. There will be one in the beginning of the year also in San Francisco. And I'd like to get to the point where I can have one in Europe as well, and I'd like to be able to do this on a more regular basis. So ideally my dream, but this is more down to logistics and energy on some of those things, is to have one in the US, a Pragmatic Summit, and one in Europe and London or somewhere else. And getting to that point, I will be very happy. And, I'm growing my team very slowly. We now have a small team, so I'm just figuring out ways that I can have folks involved and help with even more ambitious research I'd love to do, even going deeper. I have so many ideas of companies to research, industries to research, sometimes some boring industries. At some point I'd love to go into a utilities company and go through how they build software. It sounds pretty boring, but it's pretty darn important."
