About the Site
My name's Maddie, I'm an advocate for simplicity and believe developers can
regain control of app development.
As a developer lead, I have to suppress complexity in the codebases I work with
to keep my team productive. But I believe industry trends push us towards
software that's harder to develop, not easier. Technology
should make our lives easier.
All that being said, I (certainly hope) am less opinionated when spoken with about
software engineering. This website is written tongue-in-cheek; you can find a more
serious tone
on my website (and sure, more about me, but frankly, who cares?). And if
you've written something rad about monoliths,
let me know, please?
And yes- there are cases where microservices rule.
