Ben Hyrman

Hi.

My name is Ben Hyrman. I'm a software developer with a passion for shipping products.

I love working with others. For me, development is a team sport. We go further when we go together.

I write here; mostly about what I'm learning or working on. I occasionally write about personal things as well.

Of course, coming here to read isn't always convenient. I also have an RSS feed or you can sign up for my mailing list. You'll get each new post in your mailbox and nothing else.
