I build software and occasionally write about it. Mostly Elixir and the BEAM, sorting algorithms, talks worth an hour, and whatever else ended up on the bench. Most of what is here was written between 2014 and 2015, when Elixir was new and I was learning in public.

• ElixirConfEU: Elixir Processes in 3D — a lightning talk in Krakow, and how to watch 5,000 BEAM processes spawn in three dimensions.
• Thinking Like an Erlanger — the mental shift that makes the BEAM make sense.
• Roman Numerals Elixir Kata — a test-driven walk through the language basics.
• Integrated Tests Are A Scam — a trolly title on an excellent talk, with the argument written out.
• MIT: Introduction to Algorithms — radix sort, and the lectures worth going back to.

Code lives on GitHub. There is more about me on the about page, and everything here is in the feed.
