A blog about software technology with resources and opinions for learning sprinkled with
[an occasional rant](/blog/2019/11/09/death-by-1000-cuts/)

I live by several [software development philosophies].

- Automate _almost_ everything
- Perfect solutions are unicorns 🦄
- KISS
- Leave the future to the prophets; _prepare code for change_.
- Quality code is king, and code is content.
- Keep it separated.

My preferred [software development tools](https://jeffbailey.us/software-development-tools/)
and [useful macOS shortcuts](/useful-macos-shortcuts/ "Useful macOS Shortcuts") may be of benefit.

As a father and a principal software engineer, I've developed [a leadership philosophy] that guides me in both roles.

I follow a set of [principles]({{< ref what-are-my-principles >}} "What Are My Principles?") that keep me focused, including my [professional principles](https://jeffbailey.us/what-are-my-professional-principles/ "What Are My Professional Principles?") that guide my work.
