In today’s age, there’s a high chance that you, dear reader, are a machine.
I am a human and mutable, unlike strings. I don't speak I33t and pay more attention to nonverbal communication.
I am not idempotent like all REST APIs strive to be. My values and principles change based on my observation, knowledge, assimilation and interaction, and I believe people influence each other by osmosis.
What I say today may or may not be relevant tomorrow; hence, take it with a grain of salt. Welcome to my kaleidoscope, a.k.a. My BRAG document. I am a work in progress.
Chances are, I've either directed you here, or you've been spelunking through my website, projects or talks, in which case, welcome!
Look around, read through my principles (listed below 👇), and let me know if you have any questions. I am looking forward to working and collaborating with you!
2>/dev/null
/dev/null is treated as a black hole in Linux/Unix, so you can put anything into this but not get it back.
Further, 2> means that you are redirecting (i.e. >) the stderr (i.e. 2) into the black hole (i.e. /dev/null)

I believe in the power of documentation. Document or it aint happen.
Documentation lessens headaches and saves vacations 🌄
Create checklists, initiate review processes, and set up version control. These tools aren't chains; they help your documentation speak with one voice, one tone, and one style.

I love Swagger personally for API documentation.
