I'm Gaoqing. Most people call me Bobby, partly because Gaoqing is hard for native English speakers to pronounce and partly because I got tired of correcting them.
I write software for a living and have for about a decade now. I also fly a 1969 Beechcraft Debonair around the southeast, run a small flock of sheep on a piece of land in West Virginia, and keep a few cars in the garage that are old enough to need actual maintenance instead of a subscription.
People sometimes ask how all of that connects. The honest answer is that I just like making things that work. Software, an old engine, a sick animal, a flight plan. They all want roughly the same thing from you, which is to pay attention and not lie to yourself about what is actually happening. I am usually pretty bad at this and getting slowly less bad over time, which is what most of this site ends up being a record of.
