A Personal Note

Hey there, fellow juggler.

If you've landed here, chances are you know the struggle: You're passionate about code, committed to your family, and constantly trying to balance both without dropping either ball. You've probably coded through naptime, debugged during Saturday morning cartoons, or explained APIs while making lunch.

This space exists because your time is sacred. Between diaper changes and deployment cycles, playground visits and pull requests, you need content that respects the reality of your day. No fluff, no 45-minute tutorials that assume you have uninterrupted focus.

Here you'll find 33s (deep technical content) and 45s (personal stories and quick insights) – both designed for developers who measure time in naptime chunks and code between conversations about dinosaurs and snack requests.

Whether you're stealing 15 minutes before anyone wakes up or squeezing in learning during quiet time, this content meets you where you are: brilliant, dedicated, and beautifully overwhelmed.

Welcome to the community of developers who code with one eye on the terminal and one eye on the kids.
