Hey, I'm Brian. I write code for a living. I want to help you learn, succeed and maybe even make more money as a developer. I beat addiction, learned to code at 30 and even led a few developer teams as a manger. On the path from n00b to engineering manager, I've seen a lot and made a lot of mistakes. Hopefully you find my insights helpful.
