My name is Austin, I'm an internet guy. I work in advertising for an agency called Hill Holliday in Boston. I helped some smart people build Pinyadda and BostInnovation before that. I do pretty much everything else in Boston too, like live here.

Sometimes I find things on that interweb thingy, and then I put them here.

A lot of those things have to do with the webbernet. Others do not have so much to do with the webbernet. Still others have nothing at all do with the webbernet.

It's very nice to meet you.

What I’ve Learned about Software Engineering

What I’ve learned about software engineering:

Listen to smart people

Prefer simple to clever

Have no ego

Shut the fuck up
I like all of these for a whole let of a lot more than just software engineering. You’re probably going to fuck them all up at some point but it’s good to have guidelines.
