Features

Core

• Software developer. C#/.NET, TypeScript, Go, Rust. Since 1999, which is a long time and several frameworks ago.
• BT (Before Token). Learned it the slow way, so knows what the fast way is hiding.
• Permanent or contract. Arrives, understands the problem, ships, hands over properly. See the timeline.

Building

• Distributed systems. Directed a decentralised P2P network connecting over 500,000 nodes: see v2024.11.
• Real-time. SignalR dashboards and broadcast control for live television: see v2013.06.
• Full stack. In practice, whichever layer is currently on fire.
• Small software. One binary where possible. See the projects.

Teams

• Leads and mentors. Squad lead, scrum master, and the person who writes the onboarding guide.
• Documents first. If it is not documented, it is not done.
• Asks the clarifying question. Most ambiguity is cheaper to remove before code exists.

Known limitations

• Will measure the size of things.
• May respond to “just add a library” with “what does it cost?”.
• Currently in beta. Opinions are updated frequently.
