Hi I'm Brian!
Welcome to my corner of the internet! This site has a bunch of stuff that I've worked on, learned from, or just think is cool.
To hire engineers you need a way to make sure they’re a fit for your team. Doing so efficiently and effectively is hard. This publication aims to dive into common engineering interview practices, see what makes them work, and how they can be improved.
Check it out on Medium hereA common question I'll get from new enginners looking to interview is what I'd recommend as a resource to study up on data structures, algorithms, and programming practices. Cracking the Coding Interview immediately comes to mind, but I wanted to create a more digestible solution.
Check out Cheatsheet on GithubThe website that you're looking at right now! It uses NextJs, React, and Emotion. It's hosted and deployed with Netlify.
Source CodeAs someone passionate about engineering leadership, I loved Lara Hogan's book Resilient Management. It goes over everything from how to craft and deliver feedback to dealing with your teammates' personal crises. I recommend this book for anyone interested in engineering management. I wrote up and saved some (full of typos) notes on this book in my github if you'd like to see a bit of what this book covers.
Check out the book hereThe authors breakdown the application of monlith and microservice patterns, showing that monoliths aren't always bad and microservices aren't always good.
Check out the book hereI've referenced Kent's work more times than I can count when talking about writing testable software. His article about the "Testing Trophy" fundamentally changed how I thought about testing my code.
Kent's WebsiteA refreshingly positve, data-backed account of how things are actually getting better.
Check out the book hereA podcast where two devs, Ken Wheeler and Jared Palmer, talk with other renowned engineers about cool stuff they've worked on.
