Hey! I never did an #introduction like @nova said to. I’m Todd, a developer and instigator of things. I made TrackJS, Request Metrics, PubConf, NotepadConf, and other silly things.

I do tech talks, training, and sometimes stream online while I’m trying to figure out how something works.

I like using technology and tech culture to tell jokes. I don’t take myself too seriously, you probably shouldn’t either.

First post! I work on the .NET team at Microsoft helping to shape the product w/ a primary focus on ASP.NET & related tech. Been in tech almost 30 years now & the web since HotDog.

Married w/ 2 teens & 3 cats, all of whom I love stupendously. Australian by birth, UK & US by privilege/choice.

Interests inc. good whisky, coffee, watches, music (I'm 6 months into learning piano!), home AV/tech, building PCs, Formula 1, & Seahawks football. If I could be anywhere right now it'd probably be Hawaii.

To all mastodon admins:

Hi! I’m Evan Phoenix, the primary author of puma, the ruby webserver that powers mastodon!

Please reply or DM me if you need tuning help! I’ve got no officiation with the mastodon, just want to see you succeed!

(Quick Tip: set WEB_CONCURRENCY to core count * 1.5 and then tune MAX_THREADS. High thread values will see diminishing returns!)
