Welcome to Thoughts From Software. Written by a Senior SWE consultant with over 14 years of experience, this publication focuses on pragmatic engineering, functional programming, and terminal-driven workflows. Expect deep dives into vanilla JavaScript, React, Neovim, and systems engineering with C and Perl. If you want heavy OOP patterns or over-engineered TypeScript configs, look elsewhere. Here, we prioritize clean architecture, pure functions, native web standards, and dry humor.
