Three Weeks Off

I’m starting work as a software engineer with Deep Genomics tomorrow; here’s what I’ve done in the three weeks since I left Metabase:

• Ran a workshop on Managing Research Software Projects to raise money for MetaDocencia.

• Wrote 43 posts on empirical software engineering research for It Will Never Work in Theory.

• Started acting as client and product owner for some projects based on Software Design by Example Using JavaScript for Mike Hoye’s software engineering course at the University of Toronto.

• Starting playing the clarinet (because tenosynovitis in my right hand meant I had to give up guitar).

• Revised a middle-grade novel titled Maddy Roo (furries versus robots with a bit of family drama)—if you’d like to give it a read, I’d be grateful for feedback.

• Started co-authoring a paper on how to make scientific publications more accessible.

• Started co-authoring an update to “Software Carpentry: Lessons Learned”.
