While I'm not technically in a Dev role (my title is Marketing Director) but this job definitely requires more coding than any of my other jobs.

I got the job by being best friends with the Owner's son since Kindergarten. They needed a web/marketing guy, I hated my job at Target. I told me friend. He talked to his dad. I "interviewed" for about 15 minutes and he offered me the job.

I did have to work a couple months on the Sales Floor, just because that's what they actually needed at the time, but I quickly jumped into to updating our website and a bunch of other stuff.
