eagerterrier/README.md

eagerterrier

I work as a Software Engineering Manager at the BBC for the World Service. We do things like the open source Simorgh application

Why eagerterrier?

When I was working in restaurants someone called me an eager terrier, which I took to mean enthusiastically tackling tasks with unbound energy, so the name stuck. They could have meant I was yappy and annoying, of course...

Manager Readme

I wrote this when I was a team lead and haven't updated it in a while

My Manager ReadMe

Manager's Reading

I keep a semi-up-to-date list of books and articles I've found useful over time. I am currently studying for an MSc in Business and Strategic Leadership at Cranfield, so my time for reading for fun has been diminished. Good news is that I'm finished with the course in March 2024, so I should be able to do some reading for fun and development in the Spring.

Books and articles on management and leadership

The code

Since I've been a manager I don't have too much time for coding, but I like to keep my hand in. I keep pet projects, such as Peggy Babcock and do occasional freelance projects.

  • PHP has been unfairly maligned. Maybe too late with PHP7 and it had already lost the fight, but man it was fast.
  • Spaces won. Shouldn't have. Tabs FTW
  • A pie is anything you call a pie. Like art.
