This is one of the hardest emails that I've ever had to write, but the best way, I suppose, is to get the really hard part out of the way first. I've decided to move on from my time at Puppet Labs. My last day will be November 14th.
My reason for leaving is pretty non-spectacular: after working remotely for over a year and a half the isolation really started to weigh on me. After struggling with this for a while, I've come to the decision to make a change where I can work in an office again. I love what I work on here at Puppet Labs. I love the team that I work with. I love working with everyone on this list (we really are a pretty civil bunch). I think that Puppet Labs and puppet have a great future. Unfortunately it is one that I won't get to directly take part it. I hope to continue to watch as puppet moves forward. Maybe I'll even continue on some of my experiments in my free time and submit some pull requests :)
