About mattezell

I am a tech enthusiast - by trade and by passion...

I earn my bread and my butter, currently writing widely used banking software - with an odd and end job sprinkled on to add flavor as needed...

In a prior life, I was a web developer - working with everything from Nodejs to .Net (and many, many things in between)... Though no longer my day job, I still make an honest effort to stay up to date with the 'latest and greatest', often starting (though, admittedly, less often finishing) hobby projects to 'get my feet wet' or to 'cut my teeth'.

Let's see... What else? Well, I like to read - mostly the ramblings of other tech junkies.. I have also recently began somewhat of a personal video game revival and so when I have "free time", you may very well be pawning me on Steam, Live or PSN...

Feel free to get at me on Twitter (same name), my site (same name + .info) or any other avenue that you can track me down on (except IRL - that would be a little creepy, you stalker)...

    Fortunately for me, I didn't walk away from my last gig empty handed, and so have been afforded a bit of time to figure out what's next. As others have said, hiring really slows do…

    Yup! Knowing this, I'd intended to put off seeking for a new gig, but once recruiters know you're on the market in any capacity, they start beating down the door - I assume to stay…

    Got ya... As someone who's worked in hybrid since ~2014, I completely understand where you're coming from - we've come a long way. Hybrid is an interesting dev space currently - so…

    Thanks for the writeup, @EO-IO. As other have said, it's a 'skeezy model', but as you've said, you know this and were sharing for the lessons learned more than to promote this mode…

    Perhaps I'm just lazy or missing something... While I don't often use it directly, I do find that adding a ref to it makes my life easier when I'm working in AngularJS.

    Agreed. This is picking up the shares on Facebook, that's for sure. I just don't belive the tech is here - yet. I don't think it's far off, but the biggest names in tech (largest R…

    I don't know if I was just lucky or what, but I've always had far worse experiences with Seagates than WDs. I got into building PCs on the side in about '96 or so and did break/fix…

    I don't understand your argument. If I place my laptop on the tray, aren't I using the tray in a predictable way in line with its intended purpose (i.e. to hold things)? Does your …

    Yeah, I am pretty sure that you're correct.. This was a new input to me ( ) - learn something new everyday.
