It’s been a while since I posted here. That wasn’t intentional, but it wasn’t by accident, either. As I was working on my career, the pandemic hit. I got laid off twice in one year by a company I enjoyed working for, and decided it was time to start another business. I put more effort… Continue reading Where I’ve Been & Where I’m Going

Using PHP Composer with GitHub Repositories
In my new position at GrokSpark, I’ve been building out the company’s 3MS MVP from scratch in PHP. I’m sure I’ll write a post on why I chose PHP (I can hear the self-righteous and poorly formed opinions about why PHP is awful already), but for now I wanted to focus on something a bit… Continue reading Using PHP Composer with GitHub Repositories
Config Migration
TLDR; I made a thing for migrating my configuration files, I like it, and it’s available for use here: https://github.com/AndyM84/config-migration As the technology world settles into the ‘DevOps’ era and begins passing it out to other areas (looking at you, marketing automation), I figured I’d share one of my deployment “pet peeves” and solutions.

Question of the Month – 2013-11-26 (Archive Repost)
Years ago while working and living in North Carolina, my friends and I attempted to start a series of thought experiments together for tackling purely hypothetical questions. This was the one question we managed to complete, posted in the hopes that we can again try turning this into a monthly occurrence.

Weekend Projects Gone Awry, Part 1
Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time at home, which has produced an odd side effect. It seems the more time I am left alone, the more I get stuck on ideas without real merit. Generally speaking, these are passing thoughts at best, but sometimes one takes root and seems dedicated to obstructing real… Continue reading Weekend Projects Gone Awry, Part 1
