  • The 1%

    My brother is a data scientist. In his free time he comes up with some interesting things. One thing that was pretty interesting was a simulation of the economy.

  • Payment with Equity

    I get contacted a lot with job offers. Most of them want me to work “for no money” and accept payment with equity.

  • Change of Schedule

    I’ve been writing software nearly every day for just over 20 years now; whether it was a personal project, school project, contract job, or salary. It’s been fun, to put it mildly. I’m glad the 10,000 hour rule was tossed out, because I’m far from a world class expert.

  • Running a multi-arch cluster with Rancher/Docker

    Just a heads up — this no longer works! We’ll have to go back to the drawing board to update. I just bought three raspberry pi’s to attempt to cheaply increase the capacity of my home cluster (I’m building something awesome 😃 )… This is a quick write up on what I did and how […]

  • Husband + Dad + Docker + WP + Hugo == this

    A lot of people think I don’t like Docker, and I’m here to tell you that’s not true. In fact, I feel like a magician about to show his huge magic trick of the show. In the next couple hours this blog post will be live along with a huge framework… Let me tell you […]

    I don’t think I’m the first one to ever say this, but rewriting software is perhaps one of the most risky things you can do in a project, not to mention a business. They’re risky because it takes a human to transfer knowledge from one system to another that behave subtly differently. I’m about to […]

    Scalability and WordPress (In Theory)

    When I first started down the path to the Clam project, I realized I could get sub-second responses when the db/cache/php/nginx were all collocated on the same machine. It literally removes almost all network effects. That being said, how could I use that to my advantage?

  • Stop thinking about databases and infrastructure

    Stop thinking about databases and infrastructure

    I’ve been playing with Microsoft’s Service Fabric the last couple of days and getting the gist of it. If you’ve never heard of it, that’s ok. I’m about to tell you all about it.

  • Abandon Ship: Why I’m Leaving Docker

    Abandon Ship: Why I’m Leaving Docker

    After a year of getting deep into Docker, and just about every orchestration service from Docker Cloud, to Kubernetes, to Mesos, to Rancher, to Triton, to Open Shift, to ECS, and on and on … there’s one thing I’ve learned: They are all good for one or two things, but they’re not the full package […]
