This is the personal blog of Ben Johnson, a programmer from Ontario, Canada (remember blogs?).

I’m a Principal Engineer at Prodigy Education, building software to help kids learn math and caring for the humans who do so. All opinions presented are my own.

I’m into amazing user experiences, visual and software design, coffee, pizza, adorable pictures of animals, and oxford commas.

I have an eight-year-old boy named Toby whose ridiculous exploits are often featured here.

This blog and microblog is hosted by Micro.blog. I recommend it. Posts are cross-posted to Mastodon and Twitter. Twitter cross-posting won’t be supported by the platform at some point. My guess is at that point I’m leaving Twitter. Before I had this blog, I was active on Twitter. I’ve archived those tweets.

The blog is Typeset in Capricho by Hoftype with webfonts by FontSpring. The design is based on the Rose Pine colour scheme.
