"Use X framework / library / language! It will save you hours!"
"You want to go back to using WebAssembly bro?"
"Ship it fast, break it fast."
"You can't code without type safety!"
"Why on earth would you wrangle your own memory? Use Rust!"
Sound familiar?
This site is the collection of articles, scientific studies, surveys and my own attempts to create projects (like an indie video game) that go against the typical paradigms you see / hear touted today. I offer all my information, almost TWO YEARS of data, proving that the above statements are all lies.
These lies are usually touted by people who have been captured by ideology. This ideology has caused a sharp decline in quality software, websites and video games. Everyone in the industry knows it and they make YOU pay for it.
This information hopefully helps you make more informed decisions about what to buy, why things never work, why everything is slow and buggy, why you should say no to complicated abstractions if you're a programmer, how you can make more money as an executive, how to manage your developers properly and so much more.
I do this because I care.
Simply send in a tip (Link Here) and I will email you login link with your own username & password. If you tip and would like me to use a different email, just message me on any platform (X, Twitch, Discord, etc...).
I am a software / web programmer and I have been working in the industry for over 20 years. I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of programming. I have seen the beauty of well-crafted code and the horror of spaghetti code. I have seen the power of logic and the chaos of its dismissal. Through it all, I have come to appreciate the art and science of programming, and the profound impact it has on our world.
I am also a streamer with almost two years of that under my belt. I have built a community of coders who share my passion for programming and technology. Together, we explore new languages, work on projects, and learn from each other. It is a place of collaboration, creativity, and camaraderie.
I was also in a cult, Jehovah's Witnesses, for 30 years. I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of religion. I have seen the beauty of faith and the horror of fanaticism. I have seen the power of belief and the chaos of dogma. Through it all, I have come to appreciate the wisdom and folly of religion, and the profound impact it has on our world, positively and negatively.
That religion left me homeless, poor, sleeping in my car, hungry many nights and more. All before I was 25 years old. Programming got me out of that spiral. I worked for free for many years so I could get the experience I needed to land my first paying job.
I am here, as a nobody, to tell you that you can do it too. You can learn to code and you can get a job in tech. You can change your life and the lives of those around you.
Unfortunately, the industry has been captured by "false prophets" of programming. There are many people out there who claim to be experts, but in reality, they are just charlatans who are more interested in self-promotion than in helping others. They are the ones who spread misinformation, create toxic environments, and exploit the vulnerable. They are the ones who give programming a bad name. These people believe they are the arbiters of truth for the programming community, as if some programming god speaks directly to them, but they offer no real value to the community. To you.
As part of an effort to show a better path, I will add educational content to this website. The content will be in the form of video, audio and written posts that will guide you through the world of programming the way in which I think will benefit *YOU* the most.
