A couple of engineering friends share what they have learned and any other interesting things we find on the internet
Welcome to Hulacorn
Welcome to Hulacorn.
We are a group of engineers who have decades of experience in software. We intend to share, at least, every month what we learn from building in public. We will be writing about what we learned in the last 20 years of working in the software industry and how things have changed or not changed(mainly not changed).
You subscribed to us directly on Hulacorn or via the old site padraigobrien.com.

Howdy, I have been writing for a while now, starting on padraigobrien.com but now on blog.hulacorn.com. I mainly write about my experiences in tech. While I would love that all my writings would blow up, not all do. I wrote a blog post long ago, posted it, got a few hundred views and thought no more about it. I recycled that content, and, bam, it blows up. You can read about what it looks like when a post blows up on Hacker news and Reddit here at...
We have an update on the direction we are taking Hulacorn and what is the first problem we intend to solve. Grace wrote an article on their journey to get their first job as a software engineer. Roberto put their thoughts down on the complexity of going all in on microservices. Adam composed a post on getting started with automation in Python. You can code along with Roberto in a video they made that does some simple code to draw fractals with the python turtle inside Colab.
