Background
For nearly a decade we have crunched code at several organizations of varying scales and sectors of industry. The grind of these positions always inevitably leading to feeling burnout, wrecked mental health, and social withdrawal from the world.
We began this journey by learning in an intensive boot-camp, supported by a community of passionate teachers and equally committed peers. Our only desire at the time was to improve our art with code, but there are many ways we all can lose our aims in the waves of taking on new knowledge. New discoveries change us, but our hearts can remain intact regardless of how many compiling errors we cause.
Intent
We hope to share different life lessons in technology and ways of viewing programming as an expressive art form, more akin to abstract painting then the results driven rhetoric that has more doggedly been associated with it.
There are also instances where we forget the concepts and tools which underpin our workflows and development efforts or have an interest in learning something completely new. In these cases we’ll tend to create documents for tracking our learning to assist in jogging our memory when we forget the pointer and all seems lost.
