Personal Musings

One of my mentors recently asked me for a recommendation. That’s an interesting moment in your career. I feel a bit of pride in the recognition from someone who for a decade was my teacher and now recognizes me as a peer. My career would not be what it is were it not for his mentorship and abilities. With this in mind I sat down to write a recommendation and found myself visiting the mecca of networked connection and self-aggrandization for inspiration, LinkedIn.

Hello and Welcome Once upon a time, I did quite a lot of work with wordpress websites. I had many of my own and I created them for others. Then I found the wonders of Node.js, microservice design, docker, kubernetes and so on and I didn’t look back. Unfortunately the one site that I probably should have converted was my main theBoEffect site. Well today I finally have! I can now say that I no longer support any WordPress implementations.

This was a cool project. Here’s the opener… APOLOGIES, THIS IS A LONG ONE. IN THIS POST I’M GOING TO DETAIL HOW I WAS ABLE TO TAKE A SIMPLE IDEA AND TURN INTO A VIABLE REALITY COMPLETE WITH A REVENUE MODEL IN 3 MONTHS. THAT’S 3 MONTHS FROM INCEPTION, THROUGH DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE, TO DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT. WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA IS A SUBJECT FOR ANOTHER POST, HAHA.
