One of my guilty pleasures is watching Ghost Hunting vids. I’m a skeptic by nature but they’re just fun to watch. I would love to be on a ghost hunting show to just be the skeptic. The dark doesn’t scare me so I’d go into the worst places totally unphased. I’m a veteran so.. expect shit talking.

Hey all, I just release the debut version of RAID, my open-source developer tool for centralized multi-repo orchestration. I was annoyed at having to scour old confluence pages to setup and run my dev environment tasks. Now it’s all a single command. Feedback is appreciated 🙇‍♂️ raidcli.dev

Raid app running in terminal. One Config. Zero Chaos.

Software Engineers need a better way to showcase a portfolio. “Just make an app” requires too much upkeep and money to keep running. GitHub is also hit or miss as it doesn’t show everything you can do.

The tech job market is insanely brutal right now. I am highly qualified with 10+ years experience and it’s almost impossible to get an interview right now. Even if you do they grill you like their life depends on it.
