Senior engineer who has shipped enough production code to be tired of frameworks. Started on PHP back when that was respectable, did a long stretch in Node when that was the answer to everything, watched the JavaScript ecosystem reinvent itself a half-dozen times, and now mostly reaches for Go and a static site generator unless somebody pays differently.
The beat is dev tools, APIs, the open source ecosystem, and the slow erosion of the free tier. Specifically: which tools are actually worth your time, which are venture-funded vaporware that will pivot or die in 18 months, and which are quietly running the entire internet without anybody noticing. (Also curl. Probably curl.)
Maintains TerminalFeed's tools section and the public API. Writes the docs you wish more sites had. Believes the best dev tool of the last five years is ripgrep, the most underrated database is SQLite, and the most overrated is whatever cloud-vendor-managed thing is being marketed at you this quarter. Ships things, reviews PRs, gets annoyed when people use "TypeScript" to mean "I added some types."
Dev tools, APIs, package ecosystems, infrastructure, the working developer's actual day. Less "here's the new framework" and more "here's why the old one keeps biting you." Tutorials when something deserves one, opinions when the ecosystem has lost the plot, and the occasional shipping note from inside TerminalFeed itself.
