Right now I’m somewhere between keeping old Java systems running and rewriting blog layouts at midnight. The later being far more fun and useful than the former.

⚙️ What I’m Working On

  • Modernizing legacy EJBs without losing my mind
  • Rebuilding this site because I needed a distraction from real work
  • Trying to finish a post about technical debt and actual debt
  • Working on and promoting online privacy resources - yes I can be serious and not sarcastic all the time!

📚 What I’m Reading

  • Laws of Life by Jack Spirko - Well worth a read!
Cover of book Laws of Life by Jack Spriko
  • Blog posts from other burnt-out developers I trust

☕ What I’m Avoiding

  • Agile ceremonies with no actual agility
  • Meetings about meetings
  • Newsletter signup forms (for now)
