About Geekist.co

Geekist is…
A rhythm of midnight compulsions, giving rise to semi-brewed theories. Then there are the stubborn scripts, offbeat-beats and systems… re-built.

They didn’t need to be re-built. But they wouldn’t let themselves stay the same.

It’s powered by the kind of curiosity that refuses neat answers. So no, probably not the sort of thing you’d find in textbooks. More like the kind that rearranges your sleep.

The kind that stares at a sentence until it turns into something living.

I’m J. I write the code. I compose the music. I tend to tear up structure… because it feels right. Then form and function follow… usually For two decades I’ve walked the edges of what people call disciplines, without ever staying long enough to live inside their borders.

I’ve led teams & written books. I’ve conducted myself in both orchestras and outages. Somewhere in that intersection – of architecture and absurdity – I built this place.

Geekist is what grew when you garnish grief with grit and github

It is where it all coheres. The place for web architectures and silly scripts. For database schemas that almost made me cry. For sentence fragments that accidentally turned into theatre. For musings on flavor, all collapsing into a single creative compulsion.

It is not clean. Barely optimized. Okay… maybe a little optimized. It will not promise you ten easy steps. But if you’ve ever stayed up just to fix something no one else noticed, or wrote a tool no one asked for (just to prove it could exist), or spent an hour shaving pixels off a layout because it didn’t sit right with your soul, you’re already one of us.

Geekist probably wouldn’t teach you how to build, but oh boy would it remind you why you do.
