I've been with Cockroach Labs about 15 months, and my gut is telling me there's a use for a place (besides the ephemeral social networks) that collects public articles about us and distills them down for people to understand what they mean, in a way that goes beyond the corporate blog and social accounts.
I'm not quite sure what that looks like, but it's a nugget of an idea that I want to explore, if only for the creative opportunity it presents me.
I'm trying to figure out how to share what I know in a way that's valuable to others.
Why? I like to write. And share. And think it's important. I used to write a LOT about APIs and integration when I was working in that space, and it was both fun and useful to the people I worked with. I hope to repeat that success.
I hope you follow along by subscribing (by hitting "subscribe" in the top right corner of this page). I don't usually send my posts out via email, but if I start to see interest from the Cockroach Labs audience, I'll start hitting the "send by email" button a little more often.
Did I mention it's free?
