Hi there 👋
Hi! I'm Mike Stemle (he/him), and I enjoy reading and writing code. I'm a software professional with more than 25 years of professional programming experience. I'm an open source expert with a love for community, technology, and what we can do when we work together.
See? While I have done a lot in my years, I'm not done yet!
- 🤔 I’m looking for help with ideas on where I can go from here in my open source journey. Advice, writing, code, all are things I'd love to contribute more of.
- 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on my promise-regulation module. I think it's an interesting little way of thinking about how we would like to better control concurrency and asynchronicity in JavaScript.
- 🌱 I’m working on diving deeper Rust. There's an awful lot of room to grow in this space, and it's a really interesting language.
- 🧬 I'm learning Helix. It's the first new editor I've learned in a while, so I'm excited to learn something new.
Also, don't forget to check out my GitHub Resume!
Also, find me on Mastodon.
Writings
Check out some of my writings! I keep them all here on DEV.to: https://dev.to/manchicken.
Here are a few of my favorite pieces:
- Guest post on Datadog blog: I use GitHub Actions for Datadog's Service Catalog, and you should, too
- Definition of Dependencies
- String Manipulation of URLs is an Anti-Pattern.
- Warning: Elaborate Scams Abound!
- I love function signatures in Perl, and you should too.
- Simple Code Tasks Should Be Simple
Hacktoberfest 2023 Projects
Here are a list of projects I'm involved with during Hacktoberfest:
Stuff I'm working on
- I'm working on the Datadog Service Catalog Metadata Provider (DDSCMP) which can be found here: https://github.com/arcxp/datadog-service-catalog-metadata-provider
- I'm working on a project called "repository-wrapup" which is intended to help you find and address abandoned code repositories on GitHub.
Stuff I invite you to work on if you'd like
- I could use a hand with documetation for my
@manchicken/promise-regulation
module. You can find that here: https://github.com/manchicken/promise-regulation- Documentation is really needed
- If you can think of some tests I didn't think of, that'd be marvelous
- If you're a user of the DDSCMP, and you'd like to participate, you can also contribute here: https://github.com/arcxp/datadog-service-catalog-metadata-provider
- Take a look a the issues list
- There is a lot of documentation for this project, there are bound to be mistakes. I welcome all PRs correcting those mistakes.
