This Is Aaron’s Life – Video Blog Intro from Aaron Irizarry on Vimeo.
I have been re-thinking a lot of how this blog works and have been mapping out some re-tooling, and re-branding that I plan to implement over the coming months. The main reason for this is to provide a more personal experience on TIAL. So many of you come to the site and interact as well as the great interaction that I get with a lot of you on twitter.

In pt.1 of building a successful dev team we looked at a very practical way that we can enhance the value of our dev team by writing code that easy to use and update by other members on our team… [read more] Continue reading
Coding for the Good of The Team
For those of us work in a team development environment we have experienced the frustration of giving our designs/code to another member of the team, and getting back something quite different then we submitted. Since the focus of this series is how to contribute to, and or build a successful development team we will look at ways that we can structure our code so that it is easier for others to read, and pick up as they take on their part of the project… [read more] Continue reading
Keys To Development Team Success
Recently at my in-house job I find myself doing less “web design” and doing more User Interface design, as well as a lot of UX research/design/testing.

Quality or Quantity?
In the creative industry we are often faced with the choice of quality or quantity at some time or another. As freelance/independent creatives we can be face with choosing between more work, or better work. When working in an in-house environment the project load can pile up, add in the deadline factor, and before you know it quantity can take precedence over quality. Finances, personal goals, design morals, all of these things influence our choice and approach to the issue of “Quality or Quantity”. In what other situations have you experienced this dynamic?
