It was really awesome to recently talk with @mattwatsonkc on the Product Driven Podcast about how feedback is at the heart of an effective development process. youtu.be/mgLywlF2uD4?si=deOL…

I officially know how to AWS! I'm now an AWS Certified Developer Associate. It was more difficult than I expected, I had studied for several months and I put the exam off for a month so I could feel more confident. But now I know more about AWS than I will probably ever need 😁

Again I find myself using the Mermaid plugin to VS Code to easily visualize complex data structures. This one is the graph that is built by my multi-node data sync algorithm. Making a problem visual helps expose tricky problems!

I'm on the GOTO conference channel with the awesome @DamianM talking about right ways to use microservices and also some very wrong ways to use them. youtu.be/0pSLqC-QpDo?list=PL… Thanks so much Damian, this was so much fun.

Generating sequence diagrams from event logs is the most awesome way to debug complex multi-node data synchronization.

It's been three long years and a lot has happened. But I've finally written the final chapter of my book Rapid Fullstack Development. codecapers.gumroad.com/l/rap…

It so good to finally hold the fruits of your labour in your hands. I worked on this book for almost three years (1st and 2nd editions). When you put in small amount of time every day towards achieving your dreams it will add up to a big result over a year or more.

I've written chapter 7 of Rapid Fullstack Development (the debugging chapter) and just finalizing the graphics... This diagram relates to problem solving and shows a chart of leads we could be following up on.
