Hello! My name is Al and I've been programming since I was in middle school. I believe software development is the art of managing complexity. I've spent most of my career designing systems from their infrastructure all the way to their go-to-market strategy. I've launched over 10 V1 products and just under 10 V2s. I'm a Linux nut, I believe all developers are more powerful when they understand what's going on under the hood, and I think everyone is capable of teaching themselves everything they need so long as they have the right support.
