A professional full stack software engineering blog.

Chris is thinking about St. Patrick's Day!

Detailed full stack software tutorials, walk-throughs, and more: battle-tested and directly from the front lines of industrial, startup, and SaaS product full stack software development. Learn techniques, patterns, and code that I've used on my dozen+ products I've built in my 10+ year software career.

***NEW: I'm attempting to operate a total of *10* profitable solo SaaS products by the end of 2026! Join me on my journey!
