Hey.
I'm Mark.

handsome guy

great to meet you.

Do you looove technology?

If you do (and let's be honest, who doesn't these days), then it possible you may have just stumbled upon something real neat-o! *

*(neat-o is a fun, old-fashioned slang word that means cool, nice, or great.... see, we are learning already!)

who am i

I’ve spent over a decade wrangling servers, taming codebases, and leading technology teams.

Basically, if it plugs in, compiles, or throws strange error messages, I’ve probably dealt with it, or something similar.

I've seen really scary things... Like spaghetti code that should be classified as a federal crime and servers held together by duct tape and hope.

What is this site about?

This site mostly exists to purge the semi-formed thoughts I can't get out of my head for weeks (or months) at a time. It's how my brain works, and writing really helps!

But my real motivation is to make a positive contribution to the greater development community through my writing.

After all, the best way to learn is to fail, and the second best way is to fail again... but different-ly than before ...or something.

And that requires...

learning

I hope we can learn something new - together.



There Might Be A Better Way.

Stories, insights and “aha!” moments from life with technology.
