Busy busy.. people leaving every week

Sadly since my boss left just over a month ago, many more people have been leaving. The trouble is not a single one has yet been replaced.

This means.. my blog suffers, amongst other things! When you lose your management, things get a bit "loose" and then you lose email marketing, and then you lose front end development.

I've been interviewing a lot, but I really don't know what I want. Wait.. I know what I want.. I want it to work at my current job! I just feel they don't want us to stay.

One offer I got really turned my stomach.. and the rest I pretty much dismissed immediately because they wanted to "test" me on my "php syntax knowledge". I am not the type of programmer who memorizes all the syntax, I think it's a waste of time. Since languages change so much, and who writes simple stuff from scratch anyhow? I definitely don't unless I have to.

I love solving web problems.. like .. How do we get this content to the users? how can we implement new technologies in intrigue users? stuff like that.

Not: What's the difference between asort, ksort and sort. Any monkey can google that in a heartbeat..

Frustrated, and really wanting either something new, or something to change here. I can't just be a regular developer forever, and I'm getting itchy to move to management, or more senior roles.
