Programmer Hat Backstory

Hey, founder of Programmer Hat here…

I started Programmer Hat as a way to share my deep knowledge and expertise in software engineering. Having worked many years in software engineering, it’s astonishing how much knowledge I’ve built up that most people don’t know.

I’ve also brought on people who I’ve carefully vetted to have deep, real world knowledge of software tools and systems. Every writer here is a computer whiz.

Like most people, I’ve had a deep desire to generate passive income as a way to free up more time to explore things I’m really interested in. This blog is one way for me to do that, while helping people break into the lucrative software engineering industry.

There’s a shortage of software engineers, which is why software engineers continue to be very highly paid. It took me years of training to get to the point where I could be employable as a software engineer. By reading this blog, you too can start your journey into the software industry!
