      For the better part of the last 15 years, I’ve worked with start-ups and scale-ups in many capacities: co-founder, employee, consultant, advisor, mascot. Ok, maybe not the last one, but you get the idea 🙂

      KMonad vs QMK

As I’ve discussed before, qmk is an amazing piece of software designed to program your mechanical keyboard. The problem, of course, is that you have to have a mechanical keyboard to use it.
