Hello World | Ed Byford

This is my first blog post. I've been meaning to start writing for a while, and here we are.

What to expect

I'll be writing about:

Product management - lessons learned from building developer tools at Kong, VMware, and Pivotal
Climate tech - my ongoing exploration of how technology can address environmental challenges
Developer experience - what makes tools delightful (or frustrating) to use
Random thoughts - whatever else I'm thinking about

Why write?

Writing helps me think more clearly. It forces me to structure ideas that might otherwise remain vague intuitions. And occasionally, something I write might be useful to someone else.

Do what works. Do the right thing. Be kind.

That's the philosophy I try to bring to my work. Let's see if I can bring it to my writing too.

Code example

Since this is a developer's blog, here's some code to test the syntax highlighting:

const greeting = (name) => {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
};

console.log(greeting('World'));
