Today, I am definitely a sucker for unusual keyboards, and I often use a Kinesis Advantage2, a Keyboardio Atreus 2, or my hand-built prototype Atreus 2.

For another, I fully replaced the keyboard in my Mac laptop with a FingerWorks MacNTouch touch surface until that became physically impossible. (Somehow, Dvorak completely resolved my crippling RSI from computering for 16 hours a day).
For one, I've been using the Dvorak keyboard layout since around 2003. I'm pretty sure I have a keyboard problem. For less miserable video calls, I've also added a boom-mounted RØDE VideoMic NTG, a FujiFilm X-T30 made into a webcam via Genki ShadowCast, and an Elgato Ring Light. My desk setup has an OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock, which hosts an LG UltraFine 5K display (discontinued 😢), Audessey Lower East Side speakers (discontinued 😢), and Keyboardio Model 01 (discontinued 😢).

The AirPods Pro ability to switch between transparency or noise cancellation, with quick connection when I change devices, makes them my favorite headphones of all time. Today's phones are absolutely the culmination of everything I could imagine while using a Handspring Visor Deluxe and a Creative NOMAD Jukebox in 2000. Each one of those devices feels right on the the edge of magic to me.

When I'm out and about, I use a pacific blue iPhone 12 Pro, an Apple Watch Series 6, and AirPods Pro. Okay, now it's starting to feel like a theme, but… it's kind of complicated. I also curated n, a collection of single-serving websites attempting to fight against the misogyny rampant in tech: the seminal, followed by, , and. It's also the subject of my favorite blog post and conference talk, "How to calculate the phase of the moon very, very badly!".
There's a set of stories from each of those places, but you'll have to ask me about them at a conference or on the internet so this interview can stay a manageable length.īack on the personal side of things, and for once including no web development, I built a lunar calendar for witches and werewolves with my partner It's written in Swift, and lives on the iPhone App Store. Cloud City is an agency, and I spend my work days helping clients (who are mostly tech companies, and mostly in SF) develop their own web applications.

Professionally, I've also had a bit of a roller-coaster, working for a software defense contractor, a personal finance startup, a web application hosting startup, a personal media streaming startup, and then Cloud City Development since 2013. founding the non-profit Ruby Together, a 501(c)(6) trade association that funds open source development work to benefit all Ruby developers writing the third edition of The Ruby Way (because I loved the first edition, which I used to learn Ruby in 2003!) presenting around 25 talks at 36 events in 14 countries getting involved in open source in 2009 and ending up lead developer of Bundler, the Ruby language dependency manager Then I discovered Ruby on Rails in 2004 or so, and that led to lots of involvement in the Ruby community. I've loved the Ruby programming language ever since I discovered it in 2003. The site has been cited in a Maryland state judicial ruling, and was a top 5 finalist for the 2019 Webby Awards. It will settle whether a hot dog is a sandwich (no) and countless other food controversies. Probably.įor example, I artisanally hand-wrote all the HTML and CSS for The Cube Rule, a website that exists primarily make everyone who reads it astounded and/or enraged while remaining indisputably correct. As for what I do, uh, it's hard to pin down exactly but most of it could be called "web development". I spend too much time online, and I think that computers and programming are really neat. Hello! I'm André Arko, although I mostly go by on the internet.
