Thinking, working, and writing about software development doesn’t feel very “christian”.
Yet, I keep doing it.

I was recently watching a TV program that gave me no reason to think the people involved in creating it had any knowledge, exposure, or interest in anything to do with Christ.

Then there was a small, throw-away, reference that made me know that the show’s creators (probably the writers–given the context) did have some, probably long past experiences with and knowledge of Christian culture.

It’s there. Even when we aren’t aware or can see it. God is working through everything. Including what we do.

I write on this site for multiple reasons:

  • Because formulating what I’m thinking into structured, orderly words helps me think.
  • Because I hope it might be of some interest to others with overlapping interests in Christ and software. It may also be an encouragement to those believers interested in software development to know they’re not alone.
  • Because I dream that some who don’t know Christ but have an interest in software may find their way here and see that the intellectual discipline of software creation and the faith needed to believe in Jesus don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

I do know that I think like few others and I don’t know what the ultimate purpose of benefits of this are. But, I remain hopeful that God will be able to use this site and some of the ideas herein.
