Dave Fayram

Who is Dave Fayram? I’m a long time programming hobbyist who just happens to get paid for his work. Unlike some developers that are in it for the challenge of building big systems, I’m in it for the challenge of learning new things. In particular, I’m a total language nerd. Actually, I’m a total nerd [...]

Tony Arcieri

Tony Arcieri

Who is Tony Arcieri? Who am I? There’s not really one distinct subculture I fit into. I’m something of a goth hippie nerd. While musically I tend to be the exact opposite of a hipster, getting into bands long after they’re popular. But technologically I’m a total hipster, always looking for the latest trends and [...]
