About Me
I’m Jesse – longtime coder, writer, traveler, troublemaker. I like to look for problems and think my way around them, both in technology and life in general. I was 22 when I first escaped a small-town office, fled to the big city, and started seeing what I could get away with in terms of increased freedom, earnings, and adventure.

I started this website and the SoftWhereInTheHell podcast as a place to share ideas and to get ideas. I write code for a living, but I don’t want anything here to be exclusively for coders. It’s about business, it’s about monkey business, and it’s about how to make yourself a better and happier monkey.
