Why do creative things?

Recently, I shared with someone that I wanted to explore something creative.

Greenfield Projects are a Myth, unless you are a Startup

But here’s the thing, this application will still need to...

Good In, Good Out - Good engineering is still important

Like many other software engineers, I’ve also began to use AI in my day to day work. Let me be the first to admit how easy it is to become lazy when using these tools.

And then I realized all the blogs on leaflet.pub are also here. Oh yea, that’s right, it’s an open protocol! That’s the whole point! We have real choice.

You've reached the end.
