If you're here, it's hopefully because you're a listener of my podcast Tooling Talks, or appreciate some of the software I've help write.

Tooling Talks

Tooling talks was created in the middle of the Covid pandemic as a way for me to connect with others working in tooling and also as a way to shine some light on the world of tooling, primarily in the Scala ecosystem. It's not always the easiest area to get involved in, so let's try to address that by regularly talking about it. My hope is to regularly have conversation with helpful, diverse, and talented individuals all in hopes to help you, the listener, learn more about the tooling you use everywhere. Maybe it will even help you get started contributing.

  • Tooling Talks A monthly podcast of talks about developer tooling.

Scala and Vim

Going into 2020 one of my goals was to do everything I could to ensure Scala developers using Vim had a solid experience.

I wrote about this a bit in a blog, but I'm pretty happy with where we are at and have been continually working towards that goal. In many ways this threw me into the wold of developer tooling, LSP, BSP, and the likes. Diving into this all also sparked a desire to help newcomers get into the world of tooling.

Scala Tooling

In general, I just enjoy working on tooling. Since I write Scala on a daily basis much of that work ends up being in that ecosystem. Here's a few projects that I help maintain and things I'm currently working on.

Sometimes you can find me streaming at twitch.tv/ckipp. Come say hello.

This is going towards paying a designer to make tooling talks look great. If I get enough, I'd love to pay someone to transcribe these. I really appreciate you.

I would never expect this, but this would pay for a subscription of squadcast and buzzsprout, two tools I used to ensure Tooling Talks has quality audio. Also, if you're at this level and have ideas or input about any of the tools I work on, let's chat.
