System Ready is where I put the software I kept looking for and could not find. Apparently complaining was not a shipping strategy.
I make the tools I wish existed.
I’m James Sodini. I professionally make computers schizophrenic at scale. I currently work as a DevOps engineer at a startup in stealth, keeping large systems alive. My career has covered developer platforms, build systems, web proxies, policy enforcement, and infrastructure automation. I also build smaller tools with much better icons.
Your work stays on your machine unless the app needs the network for a feature you asked for.
An app should ask only for the access it needs, and it should tell you why.
I would rather make a useful tool than invent an ecosystem and ask you to live in it.
I have an unreasonable obsession with service uptime.
I like systems that stay up and tests that explain why they did not. I will TDD with Rust, Swift, and Python until the day I die.
