Hey.
I'm Mark.

handsome guy

it's great to meet you.

I'm glad you're here...

Do you love 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.

I mean, I don't expect you to go and add me to your favorites or something...after all we just met.

Unless you've been here before - in that case, welcome back old friend!

whoami?

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

Basically, if it plugs in, compiles, or throws weird error messages at 2 a.m., I’ve probably dealt with it.

I've seen things...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 all 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 heart's desire 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 like that.

And that requires...

learning

I hope we can learn something new - together.



There Might Be A Better Way.
