I build systems that shouldn’t exist yet,
and write about the ones that might.

As we enter the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, like practically everybody, I’m worn down.
The Freedom to Make Mistakes
One of the most important parts of my job overseeing a software development team is to keep them productive and communicative. Projects run more smoothly when the lines of dialogue are open and honest, and people are happier when they're listened to. And one of the key ways I've found to keep that openness and honesty is what I call the freedom to make mistakes.
Why I switched from WordPress to Gatsby
I converted my site to Gatsby, one of the more popular static site generators, and purchased and adapted a template to make it how I wanted.

Todd Dukart
Hi, I'm Todd.
By day, I'm a software engineering manager at a news organization you've probably heard of.
By night, I'm a writer with a science fiction book you've probably never heard of.
Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, I now call the Boston area home. I started in broadcast journalism — that's my degree — but I'm a self-taught developer who just kinda happened to get back into the journalism industry.
Yes, I write my code comments in AP style.
