You know that Malcom Gladwell quote about needing to do something for 10,000 hours to become a master of it? Well, I’ve done over 1000 articles for VG247 – does that mean I get to be master of it now?
That’s an absurd number of articles. I’m probably going to write less now (I’ve heard Editor-in-Chiefs do nothing but sit in meetings talking about organic traffic and crying about Google’s latest core update). But spending my time in the trenches has taught me a lot about this website, its audience, and its team.
And it’s a good site. With a good ethos, and an even better work ethic. I’ve never worked with such an enthusiastic, lippy, hustling bunch. We’ve got the vigilant, thorough backbone, Steph, on the news. We’ve got the artisanal SEO wizardry of James and the sharp, adaptable eye of Kelsey on Guides. We’ve got Connor, with his boots on the ground and his nose in a story no-one else has even thought of yet. We’ve got Jim calling someone an oaxter and writing funnier jokes than anyone else I know could ever hope to write. We’ve got the seasoned, sardonic voice of Alex on… well, anything, really. And Tom’s probably playing Football Manager, somewhere.
