demos's Introduction

HELLO! 👋

COMING SOON!* My book about open source software.

“I've written this book as a new entry in the compendium of open source thought. I don't fancy myself a thought-leader and for that we are all fortunate. But it is informed by years of success and failure working with open source software. The advice is honest; the vision bold; the mandate modest.”

Brian lives in Chanhassen, Minnesota but hails from Manitowoc, where it was always cooler by the lake and is now a fantastic ice-breaker at parties. He has four boys that keep him bald. He does a little of everything. Sometimes that’s called being a unicorn 🦄, duck 🦆, or a jack-of-all-trades 🧰, but he likes to land on the Seussical-form—Sneelock of the Circus 🎪!

With a career spanning many roles, from developer, UX team of one, product manager, analyst, and freelancer, Brian brings an experienced and broad approach to many disciplines. Him and his wife Megan’s small business keeps them exhausted and grounded in customer delivery, innovation, and warrantee-voiding laser maintenance. He’s been published in Smashing Magazine, CSS-Tricks, and led workshops at Web Design Day and the Node.js Collaborator Summit. Open source software threads into many aspects of his life, and has opened doors he’d never thought imaginable. It can do that for you too.

When not writing or working within open source software, Brian lives out programming tropes of drinking coffee and woodworking. He enjoys soccer, playing games with his sons, especially X-Wing or Chess, and never turns down a milkshake. Him and Megan spend as much time outside as they can muster, often playing with their kids, deepening the pickleball rivalry on their makeshift court, chasing clouds, or digging up the yard.

Be sure to check out some of my favorite things from now and then:

Thing Why Tech Stack
nodejs.org Helping maintain one of the most consequential websites in our ecosystem. Learning lots. Helping others do the same. My proudest moments are the new contributors, the Grace Hopper attendees, and the redesign. NextJS
makeapullre.quest A shelved community resource dedicated to improving the quality of writing & ease of assessing code changes. Sorta on hiatus. Great URL. next-i18n-starter
next-i18n-starter I wrote this because I found it hard to compose all the demos and docs together into what resembled a fully functioning content-centric website. NextJS
Sweet Love Adornments Megan's pretty killer etsy shop and website - since replaced by Shopify NextJS, Netlify CMS
Walls A digital place to preserve the ❤️ Megan put into our homes. 11ty, Pantograph
Pattern Lab The open source project I was the lead maintainer of for many years. Node, lerna, auto
compassrose.js My first real open source effort. I've recently hosted it on netlify and left the code unaltered as possible, a sort of time capsule. jQuery
DoneDaily One of my first public web apps. I've recently hosted it on netlify and left the code unaltered as possible, a sort of time capsule. Grunt, sass, Respond, yepnope, jQuery, knockout
Simple Shift Scheduler One of my first public web apps. Built for my father-in-law's business. I've recently hosted it on netlify and left the code unaltereed as possible, a sort of time capsule jQuery, AngularJS, Bootstrap
