Title: Game of Life
Description: This is my React/TypeScript implementation of the classic cellular automaton and programming puzzle, Conway's Game of Life.

2015
Title: Today I Learned
Description: TIL was my apprentice project at Hashrocket. It has grown into a popular developers blog with 2.6K posts, millions of page views per year, and the top-ranked answers on Google to many an esoteric question. It's also open-source, one of the first such Phoenix repositories.
Title: Ceramic Nation
Description: Ceramic Nation was an auto-generated internet novel, one chapter per day, supported by a Ruby gem I wrote called Remarkovable. From 2015-2022 it produced nonsensical, occasionally inspired prose informed by a corpus of classic literature.
Title: TIL (Today I Learned)
Description: 'Technical articles; needless words omitted.' I've posted short technology learnings here since 2015.
