Somewhere between a Computer Science degree and a lifetime supply of caffeine, I became a software engineer. I build things, I break things, and roughly 60% of the time I know why. The other 40% is what Stack Overflow is for.
When I'm not writing code, I'm probably explaining to non-developers why “just add a button that does it automatically” is not, in fact, a five-minute job.
