Welcome to the Internet Blacksmith Forge, where code is crafted with precision and fire.

The Forge

Just as a blacksmith shapes raw metal into useful tools, software developers transform ideas into functional code. This blog is my forge – a place where I share insights, techniques, and experiences from the world of software development.

The Blacksmith

I’m a software developer based in London, currently working primarily with Ruby, though my journey has taken me through various languages and technologies. I believe in the craftsmanship of code – that software development is both an art and a trade that requires continuous learning and refinement.

Why “Internet Blacksmith”?

The metaphor resonates with me because both blacksmithing and programming involve:

  • Taking raw materials and transforming them into something useful
  • Mastering tools and techniques through practice
  • Understanding that creating quality work takes time and patience
  • Knowing that the best results come from experience and continuous improvement
