Let's Get To It

After more than ten years in the software development industry—the better part of which has been in web development—I figure it's high time I set up a website for myself. Some things just have a way of getting put off. For ten years.

Beyond just being a landing page for myself and my projects, a big motivation for getting this website going is to be able to write about the experiences I've had and the lessons I've learned. I suppose I've finally become accustomed enough to imposter syndrome to feel like I know what I'm talking about and that my experiences might be worth sharing. At the very least, I feel the need to write it all down and get it out of my head to make room for the next ten years of experiences.

Some of those topics include best practices for managing history in Git, how Python's syntatic-sugar approach to major language features makes it awesome, and the importance of breathing room in software development.

But all of that in due time. For the past two weeks, I've been completing the daily puzzles in this year's Advent of Code and figure that would be a wonderful place to dive into blogging. So for the next little while, I'll be writing about using Python's standard library (plus a few excellent packages) to solve problems.

Join me, won't you?
