Hi there, I'm Matthew 👋 ✨
I'm a Principal Software Architect and from New York, NY. 👨‍💻

When problems surface, I methodically turn them into opportunities.

My stewardship keeps me intensely rooted from ideation to code.
Oh, that's not DX.. you've just developed feelings for your kidnapper. Blink twice if you need help!!!

Obligatory meme attached, enjoy ;D

I hit this 1-2x~/wk 😭 I've found npm is backed by clustered couchdb thus need to replicate globally before they can permit a `publish` or whatever. That + the eventual consistency model of 'high availability' (where reads are free and writes are ack'ed and queued be visible in all read paths). 🙏

All this just to render a line of text and a link. GoFundMe didn't give you a widget, they gave you a denial-of-service attack on your own site. 5MB of JS to say 'Donate'—that’s not engineering, that’s malpractice. 🫠
