👋 Hi there, thanks for stopping by
I'm here a lot, building data-intensive products from the ground up. I'm bullish on, and a big booster of:
🌿 💚 @bazelbuild and generally using functional principles to keep things sane. (I've open-sourced a few tools for the Bazel ecosystem, see below)- good old-fashioned books
📖 . Two recent favourites are Dune and Constructing The Political Spectacle - Effective Altruism. Helping, not harming. Doing, not having. Building, not consuming.
Active Projects
- Writing about software. I semi-regularly publish a post at thundergolfer.com/blog. A few are...
- Growing Python in the Bazel ecosystem. See various projects in my pins. I currently do maintenance duty for bazelbuild/rules_python.
- search.rememex.org - Full-text search over podcasts. Currently MVP and just supporting The Ezra Klein Show.
- whitelist.sh - A goal-oriented, calendar aware content feed that I would have wanted to use during my undergrad. 👷🏻♂️ WIP
Computing is pop culture. [...] Pop culture holds a disdain for history. Pop culture is all about identity and feeling like you're participating, It has nothing to do with cooperation, the past or the future—it's living in the present. I think the same is true of most people who write code for money. They have no idea where [their culture came from]. - Alan Kay
