I spent a large chunk of my time over the last month getting re-acquainted with BuddyPress.

I have been developing custom WordPress themes professionally for the past 6 years exclusively, it is what pays the bills and I have learned much about the technical details and minutiae of WordPress and WordPress themes over the years.
