I was reading an article on wikipedia about a local attraction that has a very old primary image. and I was like “I could take a better pic” but was also like “I wonder what the oldest picture from anything around #Dubuque actually is…”

Coolest data visualization I've seen in quite some time. Not just the visualization itself, but the explanations of the data. Very easy to understand.

To be fair VS Code was highlighting that comma red all day long but successful compile is successful. File being loaded at runtime. 💀

Bummer that UptimeRobot decided to pull the free license for business users. Had been using for years before they gave notice that I'd have to pay up. I'm good on that. Spun up an instance of Uptime Kuma on my utility server and now have more features than I did before. github.com/louislam/upt...

I've got a script I can send you that'll search bios for a string and iterate over the accounts and add them to any list. How can I send it to you?

I'm new to @11ty.dev, didn't even realize v3 had come out days before I went looking for a new SSG. I had a lot of fun learning, wrote a few quick-tip articles on the new site, too, too: www.sandtoken.com/writing

**Let’s Connect** 11/ If it seems like I'd vibe with you, hit me up sometime. I’m always happy to listen, brainstorm, and see where we can take things together. Tech is cool, but connecting with good people is better.

**Beyond the Code** 10/ When I’m not building things, I’m spending time with my family, playing guitar, or working in my garden. These moments keep me grounded, reminding me why I do what I do: to create space for the things that truly matter.

Cody @marpstar.com · 19/11/2024
**What Drives Me** 9/ I believe every piece of software should serve a purpose: simplify, improve, or inspire. I don’t chase buzzwords or trends for the sake of it—I chase the impact a project can have on someone’s life or work.

**Why I Keep a Day Job** 8/ I work full-time at Esri, building integrations for ArcGIS in Microsoft 365 apps. Freelancing isn’t my main gig, but I'm in love the novelty. Every client and project adds something unique to my story.

Cody @marpstar.com · 19/11/2024
**Founding Sandtoken** 7/ After informally freelancing for a few years, I started Sandtoken with one goal: to fill tech talent gaps for businesses in my community. It’s not just about tech—it’s about helping people solve problems that matter.

**The Cartegraph Chapter** 6/ After college, I spent 12 years building software at Cartegraph. It was there that I grew to love building complex metadata-driven solutions. I didn't understand at the time how precious it was to be able to be there from the very first day of building a new system.

**First Steps into Tech** 4/ That stint at Geek Squad steered me into a Computer Science degree at UW–Platteville. Turns out, “Computer Science” isn’t about fixing computers—but I did learn how to handle customers’ worst days.

**Learning to Work with People** 4/ In high school, I joined Geek Squad at Best Buy. It wasn’t glamorous, but it taught me patience, empathy, and how to help people through their most frustrating moments. These skills would shape how I approach clients today.

**Pivoting When You’re Stuck** 3/ When coding didn’t stick at first, I leaned into design. Flash animations, Paint Shop Pro, pirated Photoshop (sorry, Adobe), and dial-up internet were my tools. I didn’t know it then, but these years taught me to always find a way to create.

**How It All Began** 2/ Growing up in Dubuque, IA, I fell for computers the first time I touched one. My first website? Built in 1999. My first big mistake? Breaking AOL ToS at age 11 trying to learn how to code “progz.” (anyone remember those?) Lesson learned: curiosity can get you into trouble. 😅

A More Personal Thread: My Tech Journey 🧵 1/ Hey, I’m Cody. I’m the Principal Consultant and Software Architect at Sandtoken, but really, I’m just a guy who’s been in love with tech since the mid-90s. This is my story—from curious kid to creator. Let’s dive in. 👇
