LinkedIn Recommendation

A couple of months ago my boss' boss left our company. Yesterday he asked me to write him a recommendation on LinkedIn. I wrote a honest and stellar recommendation for him and he returned the favor with this recommendation:

"Jimmy is an incredibly talented developer, architect and project manager. He was brought in to help us totally re-architect a failing system...while keeping the old one running day-to-day as the business grew explosively. Jimmy developed a scalable & reliable architecture, led the team that built the system in record time, and also helped improve our entire Development organization by introducing us to Agile methodologies. Jimmy also worked tirelessly to support the old system as he raced to fully deploy the new one. He worked with Sales, with customers, and with IT customer service teams to provide great service and enhance an industry-leading product. Jimmy is a real asset to an IT shop: he's technically astute, a clear communicator, a great project manager, a team-builder, and a mentor. I'd be honored to work with Jimmy again in the future."

For someone who I hold in such high regard to take the time to say a few kind works about me pretty much made my day.
