What It's Like To Be... Episode 3

What It's Like To Be...

Coding Team Member

Hello TG and welcome to the third episode of a this series. In this series, titled 'What It's Like To Be..", I will be interviewing members of TG throughout the ranks, ranging from squad member right up to the CoC. As well as interviewing CoC members, i will also be taking the chance to interview certain members in support positions. This series will be published on a monthly basis. 

Today i had to pleasure of interviewing Brigadier General TGxTaylorMade, Division officer for The Division division. But today, we'll be focusing on his involvement in the coding team.

TG SmokeyB: What attracted you to this position?

TaylorMade: One day i was combing the IPB forums (site for the software we use) and i saw a post by Biggy looking for help upgrading the site to their newest version, so i reached out to him. I actually joined TG as a independent contractor to work on the new site upgrade and ATS. It wasn't will a while later like 6 months that i actually joined TG as a member and took on the Coding Team position as a TG Member. I have always had a love and passion for coding.

TG SmokeyB: You've been in your position of Coding Team Member for a while. What is the main reason for serving in the position for so long?

TaylorMade: Since when i joined TG back in February 2018, actually fun fact i was a coding team member before i was even a squad member. Personally i just love this job/ team, i work with some great people we have a lot of fun on the coding team. ALOT of behind the scenes work goes on to make sure this powerhouse of a site and community stays running and that the site is running smoothly.

TG SmokeyB: Can you tell us the best highlight while serving as a CTM?

TaylorMade: I'd have to say the best part is hearing people talk so highly of a feature or some new thing that they seen on site and knowing you made it just it makes me happy that things are being enjoyed so much.

TG SmokeyB: What attracted you to TG when you first joined?

TaylorMade: I wasn't so much attracted to TG when i first joined. When i joined, i joined to do a job it wasn't until about August of 2018 after the new site was done and things on my end slowed down that i actually started to realise what a great and awesome community we have here. That's when i knew i wanted to join as a actual member

TG SmokeyB: I imagine you are busy with so many web tickets and issues. What is it about resolving web issues you love?

TaylorMade: I don't really "love" fixing issues as more of a "thank god its fixed" feeling. Reasoning behind that is some issues are straight forward and easy where as some issues we have had are so severe and scary to even imagine fixing you start to almost panic, lol.

TG SmokeyB: Can you tell me a little more about your TG history?

TaylorMade: Joined beginning of 2018 but wasn't until about October of that year that i joined the ranks over in Call of Duty Division and i quickly rose the ranks there, where 1 month after joining i was DO over in CoD. My team and i over there helped bring CoD back but once The Division came back i knew i had to be there March 25 of this year i was appointed to DO of Division division and i am not going anywhere.

TG SmokeyB: If you could change one thing in TG, what would it be?

TaylorMade: I can't really say i would change anything, everything is perfect just the way it is.

TG SmokeyB: Just for fun. If you where having your last meal tomorrow, what would it be?

TaylorMade: I'd have to say some home made mac and cheese, with fish.

Thank you very much to @TGxTaylorMade for taking part in this interview. I can just say how grateful we all are to have here and to keep the site working correctly and smoothly. It also has be mentioned that Taylor is in the very special group of members that have both the top coins of excellence to get. Well done buddy!

The next episode in this series will be published in September!
