I guess I'll introduce myself to Bluesky. I'm Jared, but you can call me Jardo. Computers bend to my will. I'm based in Victoria, BC, and help organizations build eCommerce systems that make Shopify stores jealous using Ruby on Rails and Solidus.

all well and good to have a more practical relationship to this tech, but where I'm seeing that break down is when organizations are pushing their teams to use it without any kind of coherent strategy.
