About cranky.tech

What is this? Yet another person with more of their opinions on the net? In a word: yes. Isn't that why we created the Internet, so that everyone could get online and yell at each other and prove how the other person is wrong?

As a more "seasoned" netizen, I've experienced my fair share of shenanigans in the 25+ years I've been a software engineer. To quote a good friend:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser gate. All those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain…"

You're welcome to stay and listen to an old. Or you can go watch some TikTok and rot your brain. Cringe.

Our Mission

To share "seasoned" thoughts, experiences, and insights from the world of software engineering. We aim to provide a candid and unfiltered perspective on the industry, from the trenches to the boardroom.

Who We Are

We are a group of "seasoned" software engineers who have been around the block a few times. We've seen the rise and fall of technologies, methodologies, and trends. We've made mistakes, learned from them, and want to share our wisdom with the next generation of engineers.
