Ruud van Asseldonk loves to create beautiful things with elegant code. He particularly likes low-level optimization for bare metal performance and systems programming, but also enjoys high-level functional programming. Sometimes he writes about that. He tries to write technically interesting posts, such as his series about building a typechecker. His most popular post is a rant about yaml. He is mildly allergic to buzzwords.

Jordan Webb is a systems engineer who solves problems that involve making lots of other peoples’ code all work together. He builds a lot of custom Linux distributions. He helped build two different ones for a company that used to be called Cleversafe, but is now IBM Cloud Object Storage. He also worked on another distribution for GitHub, which lives inside of GitHub Enterprise Server. Currently, he is helping out with infrastructure at Danger Devices. He is most comfortable programming in Python or C, and can also be happy and productive in Go, Perl, or Ruby. He is well-versed in bash and POSIX shell scripting. He knows enough JavaScript and TypeScript to keep himself out of trouble and is currently learning Rust. He is into Docker, OSTree, Podman, and systemd. When not running a distribution he built himself, he tends to prefer Debian, Ubuntu, or OpenWRT. When building a distribution that’s not a Debian derivative, he uses Yocto.
