The World Wide Web pages of Adam Carpenter (53hornet)

Now

What am I up to now?

Work

Returned from two awesome on-sites with my team at Azara Healthcare
Trying to refine process and smooth out releases
Finding ways to make feature flags safer to use; also what really defines a SPA?

Hobbies

Ol' Blue got that new power brake booster; it's quieter and stops the car beautifully
Enjoying the wonderful world of TTRPGs playing Dungeons and Dragons for over a year
Dabbling with GameBoy Color game making as a form of storytelling

Life

The fire pit is done; it was back-breaking but worth it
All three of us are back from the Lake but the boating adventures continue (happy Clementine!)
Keeping up with the house seemingly falling apart around us (hooray for home ownership but where'd this water come from?)
