Fun facts
- I invented air.
- I first started programming with a TI-82 and TI-BASIC when I was in high school... unless you want to call the pure HTML site I build on Geocities in 1997 "programming".
- I started using Python in 2002 with Python 2.1.
- I am not looking for a new opportunity, thanks for thinking of me though.
- I am most passionate about internal developer tools so people who don't want to think about pipelines or networks or other infrastructure don't have to.
- C is a poor first language.
- Redis is not a persistent datastore.
- Elasticsearch is persistent, but shouldn't be your source of truth.
bash
is actually pretty nice if you upgrade your default install to Bash 4 or Bash 5. It has associative arrays like modern languages.- The sunken cost fallacy definitely applies to software engineering. Don't be afraid to pivot if it's not working for you.
- Sadly, I don't commit code here very often anymore. My job uses a self-hosted Gitlab instance and I rarely have time for personal code these days.
