About Edd Mann

Hey there! I’m Edd 👋🏻, a problem-solver who enjoys programming. With over 15 years of experience, I consider myself fortunate to work in a field I’m passionate about. I’m always eager to explore and learn new technologies, sharing my insights and experiences on this blog along the way.

Projects

Outside of work, I enjoy developing small projects to learn new technologies, showcasing them here. Some of my favorites from recent years include:

• santa-lang: A functional, C-like programming language designed for solving Advent of Code puzzles.
• 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube Solver: A project written in Rust to algorithmically solve a standard Rubik’s Cube.
• Our Wedding Website: A RSVP web-application - built using DDD, CQRS, Hexagonal Architecture, Event Sourcing, and deployed on AWS Lambda.
• Serverless Fargate: A solution to maintain long-running Fargate ECS tasks within Serverless Framework.

Podcasting

From 2013 to 2019, I co-hosted the Three Devs and a Maybe podcast, where we delved into various aspects of software development. Initially focused on web technologies, the podcast evolved to cover a broad spectrum of topics, allowing me to engage with and learn from some truly remarkable individuals. Memorable episodes include:

• Domain Modeling Made Functional with Scott Wlaschin
• PHP + JIT = GR8 with Joe Watkins
• Managing Concurrency in Postgres with Bruce Momjian
• Podcasting, Remote Working and Testing with Adam Wathan
• The History of React and Flux with Dan Abramov
• Laravel, Forge and Homestead with Taylor Otwell
