Hi there 👋

This is the profile for Piers Hobson, software developer.

⚡ Fun fact: Why Gnatsnapper?

I grew up with an military aviation historian for a father, so I accidentally resorted to using the names of aircraft when I had to come up with an arbitrary name for a project, computer, storage device, etc, and it became a thing. I always tried to keep this scheme somewhat meaningful, storage devices were always transport aircraft (Hercules, Brittania, Argosy, Beverley…), monitoring servers were always reconnaisance (Nimrod, Canberra, Sentinel...) and computers became combat gilders (Horsa, Hamilcar, Hengist, Hadrian... I just liked the names). Gnatsnapper comes from a never mass-produced biplane, I liked the obscure name and that it sounds a bit like something that could fix bugs, which I have been known to do.
