Summary

Office Hours

I have benefited greatly in my career from the help of others (and implicitly from being a white man). At this point, I would like to find more ways to contribute back to the community. I'm trying an "Office Hours" model where I spend several hours a week advising on any topic I feel competent to help with.

In general, I’m willing to help anyone who could use support in programming or software engineering. My skills are probably best suited to supporting mid-stage career software engineers, who are past the "student" phase but want help developing their skills or career (either by increasing impact or depth). I'm also happy to try my best to help people who are trying to land their first tech job.

Below is a list of areas I feel (somewhat) competent to mentor on, or at least discuss.

	$ cat ~/bin/status
	#!/bin/sh

	if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
	echo "Usage: $(basename $0) <exit-code> <name ...>"
	echo
	echo "This script is intended to be used along with a shell alias"
	echo "such as:"
	echo " alias status='status $?'"
	echo "which will automatically add the last exit code."

	#!/bin/sh

	set -e

	if [ -z "${CONFIGURATION}" ]; then
	CONFIGURATION=debug
	fi

	# Create the development toolchain.
	rm -rf ~/public/swift-project/build/Ninja-ReleaseAssert/swift-dev.xctoolchain

	#!/bin/sh

	set -e

	if [ -z "${CONFIGURATION}" ]; then
	CONFIGURATION=debug
	fi

	# Create the development toolchain.
	PLATFORM_KEY=linux-x86_64

	import Foundation

	struct X: Equatable, ExpressibleByStringLiteral {
	let strings: Set<String>

	init?(_ characters: String.CharacterView) {
	let strings = Set<String>(String(characters).components(separatedBy: ",").map{ String($0) })
	if strings.isEmpty {
	return nil
	}

	/// Box for exposing an item as a hashable.
	public struct HashableBox<T, H: Hashable>: Hashable {
	/// The wrapped item.
	public let item: T

	private let accessor: (T) -> H

	/// Create a new hashable box for `item` where `accessor` defines the hashable content.
	public init(_ item: T, accessor: @escaping (T) -> H) {
	self.item = item
