When you think about #history do you imagine a timeline? What shape is it? how wide is it? Does it extend in a particular direction?
When I think of the previous decades I see a wide steep slope extending down to the right. The future is up to the left just behind me (unless I turn around and try to look at it) The past is an impossibly wide set of steep cellar stairs littered with knickknacks.
I hate Twitter but, to be honest, Mastodon feels a lot lonelier. I like learning, books, mental models, pens, pencils, paper, notebooks, tools, knots, DIY, EDC, productivity advice, coffee, beer, software development, Tolkien, rucking, soccer, chilly weather, etc. Where are my people at??
Hello! I'm Josh Steele "The Rev. Dev," a pastor-turned-programmer.
I was a #PhD Candidate in theology before quitting the PhD for the sake of my #family (wife and 3 kids) and #mentalhealth. After looking for church work (I'm an ordained priest), I did a #coding bootcamp (Tech Elevator), and now work as a full-time #softwareengineer.
