About

I’m Nicholas Piasecki. I’m the software developer at Skiviez, an on-line store that sells men’s underwear. Like everyone in a small business, I’m in over my head and just muddling my way through. Having to keep servers running while cutting code and maintaining legacy systems is stressful, but there’s nothing more beautiful than when things Simply Work.

Unfortunately, sometimes things Simply Do Not Work. Sometimes it’s my fault, and sometimes it’s caused by a third party. These are my stories.
