  • Yes, But What Is Temporal?

    It’s the company I work for now. It’s also the project / product the company builds. It’s also relating to worldly as opposed to spiritual affairs. It’s secular. It’s also relating to time. It’s also of or situated in the temples of the head. Are you rubbing your temples yet? And here’s where it gets…

    Yesterday at 0500 PDT I made a post on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, that I’m starting a new position as Developer Advocate at Temporal. And BOOM!! ! Y’all showed ALL the love. I appreciate you. Thank you. But what does that mean?!?

  • Hello, World!

    Welcome to TheRain.Dev!! ! As usual, there will be entirely too many exclamation points and too few puns. Entirely too many pictures of cake and NONE pictures of the minions.

  • The Ten Day Work Trip

    [COVID Day Five Hundred Seventy] I finally packed. The day of the flight. And I made the flight. And flying domestically within the United States is every bit as scary as I thought it’d be – no vaccine verification, no COVID test verification, just wear a mask, pack into the overbooked plane and hope you…
