Hi. I’m David. I’m a programmer from Cambridge (the one in the UK, not the one in Massachusetts or any of the others).
I’ve kept a collection of the really old posts from this site, for the sake of not breaking the Web as much as anything else.
I wrote a CV mini-site back when I was looking for a job. I’ve since started working at Monzo, but you’re welcome to read it all the same.

My brain, and how to help it
I originally published this post internally for my colleagues at Monzo (hence the emoji). It seemed useful enough there that I figured it was worth publishing on my own site. I’ve very gently edited it to remove a couple of references that don’t mean much outside the company.
