Jimmy Hough Jr
Software developer, twenty years in — mostly Swift, always agile. Everything on this domain runs on a single small computer in my house. More about me, or browse the blog and portfolio.
Things I run
- Status — live status boards for my projects.
- Watts — an electric usage cost calculator: enter your rate, see what your appliances cost to run.
- head2head — measured implementation shootouts on my home server. First bout: the same service in Node vs Swift/Hummingbird 2.
- Pulse — realtime CPU and memory for every app on the box.
- Roost — the platform all of this runs on: one small box, Dokku, a Cloudflare tunnel, and one command from nothing to a live app. Copy the pattern (source).
