To Boldly Go Where a Bunch of People Have Gone Before
I’m pretty sure Luke Skywalker said that one time.
Hello world
Hey there Internet, my name is Jeremy and I’m a software developer from San Diego, CA.
If you know me at all, you would know I’m not usually a man of many words, but I’ve been finding lately that I have more and more to say on the subject of software development, so I decided to start a blog!
Now, you might be thinking to yourself that there are a million other programming blogs on the Interwebz™.
Yup.
Why start another one?
Well, my aim for this blog is to have a place to jot down my own thoughts as I learn new concepts/technologies, and hopefully help others that are in the same situation.
You can expect to see some posts about
- Functional programming – I’m super interested in anything and everything functional programming (FP). Lately I’ve been really into Clojure and Reason, and how those languages can influence front-end development.
- React – Speaking of front-end development, I love React. It is definitely the best front-end framework I’ve worked with, and I can’t speak enough about how it has benefitted my team.
- Writing clean and maintainable code – I believe the concepts derived from the functional programming paradigm can directly influence the readability and testability of code. Adding in more FP into my code has drastically changed how I write and think about code. Writing code that is declarative rather than imperative makes code more readable, composable, and bug-free.
I definitely haven’t yet arrived at the end of my journey that is software development. In fact, I’m just getting started, but I’m going to be jotting down my thoughts as I learn. If you’re interested in learning with me, feel free to follow along.
If you have any suggestions for future posts, let me know!
