Interplanetary File System

A compelling peer-to-peer model for publishing and persistence on the web, especially when you do not want everything to depend on one host staying alive forever.

Phoenix Framework and Elixir/Erlang

Phoenix and Elixir offer a pleasant programming model on top of the Erlang VM, which is still hard to beat for concurrency and uptime.

Reactive Extensions

The short version is observable streams. The longer version has enough depth and math underneath it to keep being interesting.

SRE / DevOps

Reliability, scalability, containerization, and security all meet here, which is what keeps the work interesting.

ThinkPads

I bought one as a durable replacement for a dead MacBook and ended up liking it far more than expected. Linux plus a swappable battery is hard to dislike.
