About

Software person (programming and testing). Involved in Agile from relatively early on. One of those grumpy old-timers who think it's lost its way. I retired during Covid. As I’m “broke to harness,” I keep up what was part of my schtick: read widely and oddly, then explain outside-tech ideas to a mostly-techie audience. Instead of talks, my venues are a blog, a podcast (infrequent), and link-heavy Mastodon posts. I like boosting other people’s posts. My leftish #uspol posts are so labeled.
