Joby (chaotic good)

joby@hachyderm.io

<p>What am I to the deafening roar of the macrocosmos? Nothing much. Just a vessel to carry the message of friendship to y&#39;all beasts and dirt.</p><p>Also I&#39;m a mostly-PHP full stack web developer who does kinda conventional stuff kinda unconventional ways ... or maybe kinda unconventional things in kinda conventional ways if you zoom out far enough? It all just keeps coming around, you know?</p>
