My name is Benjamin Dumke-von der Ehe. I worked for Stack Overflow from April 2010 to March 2019 and then again from May 2022 onwards.
I am @[email protected] on the fediverse (Mastodon). My blog's "about" page explains the origin of my user name.
I am the creator of Unicornify, the service that gives you these lovable creatures:
I also created Lyfe, a small library adding yield-based generators to JavaScript, and Not a Real Question, a little game that's played with data from various Stack Exchange sites.
I sometimes have a strange sense of humor, but I also like to explain things I fix, break, care about, or come up with.
