Why I don't regret leaving Android
In the US, you really have two choices for phone operating systems. (Since they killed my blackberry and windows phone). I had been an android user since my blackberry was pried out of my cold frustrated hands. I actually really liked android, I liked the openness, and I really liked the Pixel phone line; mostly for the simple clean software experience. But I got really tired of Google constantly killing core platform apps. Messaging app after messaging apps killed. Video chat apps killed. Yes, ...

Why do creative things?
Recently, I shared with someone that I wanted to explore something creative. Their response was basically, why would you waste your time doing that, it's not going to make you any money I think we've completely lost the the idea of having a hobby in our society. And I think it's because so many of us consume content of people turning their hobbies into something they sell ads around.

Greenfield Projects are a Myth, unless you are a Startup
In the corporate software engineering world, “Greenfield” projects tend to bring a lot of excitement. A type of project that is free of legacy code. You don’t need to worry about breaking some obscure edge case logic held together with a piece of painters tape. No need have to learn an existing data model, or read through some spaghetti code written by the probably time-constrained engineer from 5 years ago. You can start fresh and clean. 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. Initially, they were not very good. So you’d get that temptation, then it would quickly make some dumb code change, and then you’d take back control. But, as they get better and better at validating and testing their work, that temptation starts to creep back. But here’s the thing, good coders, still make dumb engineering decision...

Hello World!
Welcome to my first post! I have a blog already, but I’m considering migrating that to here because I’m bullish about the ATProtocol! I first discovered leaflet.pub because of an interview someone shared from their page. I thought, oh interesting, a blog on the ATProtocol, then through some exploring I discovered pckt.blog. 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.
