I'm Olly! I'm currently working as a Senior Eng @ Onsi - striving to help the lives of people though the way I best know how; delivering quality, stable and beautiful software.
- Keep it simple stupid
- Collaboration over being a individual contributor
- Avoid preemptive optimisations
- In person (or video) chats > messaging
- Web dev became too complicated (HTMX 🫶)
- Monoliths are underrated, servers are great
- Trunk based development/Extreme practises aren't that extreme
- Teams of engineers not programmers
Typescript if I'm feeling boring 🥱, Go if I'm starting something fresh ✨, or Rust if I'm feeling spicy and have too much free time.
