I am a software developer in Austin, Texas leading a small team doing internal line of business applications. I consider myself a reformed database bigot on the path to developing applications with a focus on testability and maintainability.

Finally saw Oppenheimer. Was waiting for IMAX 70MM. Had to drive from Austin to San Antonio, but it was worth it. Highly recommended!!!

First take on Zelda Tears of the Kingdom: Having trouble not overthinking the shrines. Being able to build pretty much anything leads to some strange work. e.g. I built a long ramp in the first shrine to reach the example hook and board high in the shrine. Spoiler: there’s nothing up there.
