After years of working, I was fortunate to be able to step away for a time and reflect. In that space, I came to realize something that I had quietly known to be true all along: I genuinely enjoy building software. The process of creating good software, with good people, for good people is what […]
I wanted to create a short memorable motto for life. I came up with “Embrace Now; Exercise Choice; Engage Life.”
