New platform, who dis?

I've decided it's time for me to start writing again, and I've been really impressed by the dev.to platform for some time now. A certain platform that starts with M and rhymes with tedium has become far too interested in profit and as a result is making life kinda miserable for content creators and consumers.

So, a little introduction to me: I'm a front-end web developer currently working for TCN, Inc. until 2/1/21 when I will be joining Chatbooks as their new front-end web lead. I'm very excited to be joining Chatbooks and helping them expand their e-commerce presence on the web!

I love all things front-end development (except AngularJS) but I especially enjoy working with ReactJS, playing with various CSS libraries (Tailwind, Bulma, etc.) and trying to improve both the user experience and the developer experience.

On occasion, I get down in the weeds with tooling for developers (like making the perfect shell interface or building cool build tools), but generally, I just like making fun UIs. My first real contentful post will likely be an updated version of "What I Use" as far as terminals, shells, etc.

For now though, #firstpost is done and I look forward to challenging myself to write weekly.

Coherence is the first Platform-as-a-Service you can control. Unlike "black-box" platforms that are opinionated about the infra you can deploy, Coherence is powered by CNC, the open-source IaC framework, which offers limitless customization.
