@croqaz and I are trying to keep each other accountable for posting work updates, let's see how this goes :)

Working on a redesign of getinsights.io, because if you can't do design well, it's better to have as little as possible. Trying to cover the niche of developers now, rather than blogs, as most of the alternative tools are doing. Working on turning more of the project open source.

"The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures."

— Fred Brooks, The Mythical Man-Month

Finally, an open standard hand dryer!
