Aaron Crowder

Hi, I'm Aaron Crowder. Or—if you know me online—CrowderSoup.

Father of two, Software developer, and lover of the open web. I like to take things apart (and sometimes even put them back together). I can frequently be found tinkering with some bit of code in my spare time.

Pronouns: He/Him, They/Them

I'm on a "tool-journey" for a notes app. It's crazy how much a notes app can drive and affect your life if it's used well and correctly.

My current tool of choice is Obsidian, but I've had to use Notion for work lately and quite like it. What's yours?

Lately there’s been a brewing culture war in the software community regarding the usage of LLM-based coding tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.), and I’m seeing a lot of hardline discourse on both sides, but especially from the anti-AI ...

I have a hard time finding fault with anyone using AI tools in their jobs. With the economy the way it is, I won't begrudge anyone who feel they need to use them to stay ahead of the curve.
