Trying to make these books free has made my life more difficult, so starting on Monday, I’ll change all the prices back to $10-20. If you want one free, or know someone else who does, get it before December 1st! #scala #functionalprogramming

I saw this quote in an old yoga book, and it reminded me of the joy of teaching #Scala. I first discovered Scala in 2011 when I lived in Alaska, and when I saw the language I thought everything was wonderfully consistent and well thought-out.

A couple of years ago I heard someone say about the Republican party, “Every accusation is a confession,” and things made a lot more sense after that.

An old note I just ran across: Shinzen Young notes that there are a lot of thoughts in your brain, and they’re all competing for attention—all trying to come to the surface to get your attention. So it’s natural that when you meditate and the front-most thoughts subside, all…

Working with a different technology stack for the last month has given me hope that there’s still at least a small market for programming books. Even though I’ve been writing code almost daily with an assist from A.I. tools, asking constant questions as I go along, there’s…


During recent job interviews, people ask if I write tests. Why yes, I do. Even though “Back To Now” is currently a little app, it has over 200 unit tests & counting, so Claude and I can keep going as fast as possible every day: apps.apple.com/us/app/back-to…

Here’s a short demo of the slideshow feature. apps.apple.com/us/app/back-to…

If you’re interested in #mindfulness, I created Back To Now as a “mindfulness reminder” app. Just add your favorite quotes and images, set up a schedule, and it sends you custom reminders. Some friends like the slideshow feature even more. apps.apple.com/us/app/back-to…

A man in his 80s asked me to ghostwrite a letter to a woman he met at church. Now they have a date this week. I’m not sure if I’m a hopeless romantic or starting a niche side hustle. :)


Okay, I just wrapped up some small projects and I’m ready to go back to work full time! Anyone need some Scala or maybe some technical writing? (There’s a reason I didn’t go into sales or marketing. 😂)
