Hi. I’m David. I’m a programmer. I’m originally from the UK, now living in the Seattle area.

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 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.
