Greetings stranger, stay a while and listen... 🧙

Hi, I'm Aaron.

I've been developing software of various kinds since 2006. My interests are wide and varied and have included everything from microservices to system tools and even numerical simulations (e.g. FEM).

Things I like

In no particular order...

Programming Languages

Pick the right tool for the job:

  • Rust - Best used for building fast + reliable software.
  • Python - Best used for prototyping, exploring data, scripting.
  • Go - Best used for cloud ecosystems.
  • C - Best for understanding existing operating systems and systems level programming. Also for cross-language interop.

Books

  • The Mythical Man Month by Fred Brooks - A classic on why work estimates are hard and why blindly adding more people to a project is a bad idea.
  • The Goal by Eliyahu M Goldratt - A teaching story about how to optimize businesses.
  • The Phoenix Project by Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, and George Spafford - The Goal but written for software developers.
  • Software Engineering at Google by Titus Winters, Tom Manshreck and Hyrum Wright - A fascinating look at how Google works, for those of us who have never worked there.

Games

  • Factorio - A game about building factories and process flows.
  • Diablo IV - Because I like clicking on things.
