Testimonials
Rave reviews from a town where nothing stays dead.
I don’t have testimonials. I have never asked a single person for one and I am not going to start now. What I do have is a soap opera I have watched for a very long time and a cast of people who have survived worse things than a merge conflict. Every quote below is invented. Every person below is invented. The curriculum is the only real thing on this page.
I have faked my own death eleven times. Writing a specification that an agent could not misinterpret was harder than any of them.
I have been possessed by the devil on two separate occasions. Neither one prepared me for debugging somebody else’s YAML.
I have forgotten my own name twice and answered to four others. I have not once forgotten to keep my secrets out of the repo since Part 3.
Thirty years a detective in this town and I never took a confession as clean as the error messages this taught me to write.
I have acquired forty-one companies. The only one that ever shipped on schedule was the one that started with a written spec.
I run a hospital. The verification habit is the only thing on this website I would be comfortable calling a standard of care.
I have lied under oath, switched two babies at birth, and impersonated my own sister for a full summer. I would not lie to you about this one. Read Part 2 first.
Everyone in this town underestimates me because I never went to school for any of it. That is the entire premise of this curriculum, and it is exactly why it worked on me.
I read contracts for a living. This is the first API documentation I have ever gotten through that did not read like a trap.
I have lived in Salem since 1968 and I have watched nothing in it ever truly finish. Then my grandson shipped an entire website over one weekend.
For the avoidance of doubt: these are fictional characters from Days of Our Lives, not the actors who play them, and not one of these quotes was said by anybody. No endorsement by any person, performer, or network is claimed or implied. Nobody from Salem has reviewed this curriculum, because Salem is not a real place. If you want an actual opinion of the work, the whole thing is free to read and you can go form your own.
