Hello, the Internet My name is Tom

I'm a speaker, mentor, and programmer who has written far too much code. This website is about the bits of code that should never have been written.

Beef?

Beef is the name of my cat, and he's an extremely good boy. I also happen to live in Catalunya, whose official top-level domain is cat. A match made in heaven.

Special thanks

This website is available in English, Spanish, and Catalan. Two of these are not languages I speak particularly well yet, so their availability is thanks to some wonderful friends:

David is a polyglot neuroscientist who is frankly far too clever to be fixing my Spanish.
Uri is a game developer and published author who is also far too clever to be doing the Catalan translations.

The hope is that, as I improve, this becomes more of a solo operation. Until then, if you want an idea of how wonderful and patient these two are, you'll find my attempts at translating these posts alongside the published versions in the website repo.
