I created a tool called Deadpendency, which is a GitHub app that checks for dead (abandoned) dependencies in your GitHub repo.

In Feb in 2020 I quit my full time job to create my idea for a startup, Deadpendency. There were some trials and tribulations, but ultimately I was successful and I built the thing.

As developers, there is so much we can learn to improve our skills, ranging from deep theory, to small practical tidbits of information. It can be overwhelming at times and we are forced to pick what we want to learn deeply and what we just want to gloss over. You can’t learn it all!

Almost exactly one year ago I quit my job to create a Haskell startup as a solo developer. I had about 20 ideas, but eventually settled on the idea of dependency project health tracking with Deadpendency.

About a year ago I quit my job to attempt my startup idea (Deadpendency), writing it in Haskell. One key decision to make was what cloud provider would I go with.
