Welcome. Im Bruce Eckel and this is the website for my company, MindView. Icreate books, seminars, self organising events, and other learning experimentsand experiences.

See the menu for various topics. If youre in a hurry, the QuickLinks page might have what youre looking for.

Littered about the Internet you will find various partially-completed projects.If you dont find something about it in Quick Links, chances areits a dead project. While I start many projects with great enthusiasm, I haveyet to find a consistent method for pruning ones that fail to take on a life oftheir own.

I sometimes provide consulting services. If you think we can find a good fitbetween us that creates an easy, effortless, enjoyable experience and meetsboth your needs and mine, Id be glad to discuss possibilities.

Here is a partial list of my values and interests:

Improving developer experience, and (only) through that, productivity.

Creating joyful workplaces.

Exploring (very) different ways to think about organizations and thedevelopment process. Thats process as in discovering how things work bestand easiest not process as in how do we control developers and make themwork harder.

Human-centered design.

Historically, my technical interests are:

Programming languages and tools, in particular the ways in which they can optimize the overall developer experience.

Concurrency (a never-ending struggle to understand).

Dealing with errors.
