Debugging Life: Welcome to The Stoic Coder
Marcus Aurelius with a Laptop
So, here you are. Welcome to my world. Imagine if Marcus Aurelius had a laptop and a caffeine addiction. That's basically me in a nutshell. I'm that weird guy who debugs code during the day and ponders the meaning of life at night. (Yes, I'm a blast at parties.)
So, What's My Deal?
I've been knee-deep in the tech world for over 25 years, building web and mobile apps, and somehow managing not to throw my computer out the window. Along the way, I've picked up a few tricks - both for writing code that doesn't make other developers cry, and for navigating life without constantly facepalming.
Why "The Stoic Coder"?
At some point between my third coffee and fifth existential crisis, I realized that a lot of ancient wisdom could be applied to our modern tech-crazed world. So, I started this newsletter to share my unique approach of providing philosophical insights from a programmers perspective. Think of it as "Ancient Wisdom for the Digital Age."
What's In It For You?
If you're a young professional or developer looking to level up your life skills and career savvy, this newsletter is your secret weapon. Here's what you'll get:
Productivity strategies that don't require a PhD in time management
Career growth strategies that work even if you're not a networking master
Tips for living a balanced life
Learning from my mistakes and how to build the right vision for your growth
Stoic principles applied to modern challenges (like staying calm during a server meltdown)
Why Should You Listen to Me?
Well, I've been around the block a few times (and yes, I mean that both in tech years and real years). I've seen trends come and go, survived multiple tech bubbles, and accumulated enough battle scars to write a very nerdy, yet based, version of "War and Peace."
But more importantly, I've learned how to navigate the complex landscape of career and personal growth in the tech world. I'm here to help you not just survive, but thrive in your professional and personal life.
