Impetus
The idea for this series came out of a combination of things:
- I enjoy talking about tooling. I especially enjoy talking about tooling with others that work in tooling, enjoy tooling, and are willing to talk with me about tooling.
- Covid times have been difficult with less opportunity to get together during conferences, meetups, and other places that you often see others with like-minded interests. To put it simply, I miss talking to others about tooling.
- Even during a lot of online conferences there isn't a large focus on tooling. So we'll overcompensate here, and we'll focus on it 100% of the time.
- Getting into tooling is hard, but I don't think it needs to be. Part of this is a lack of content or an assumption that it's too difficult. Let's combat this.
