Bram Adams, a longtime friend of mine was kind enough to have me onto his podcast, The Important Bits, to talk about building a career in consulting and how cars are the bane of my existence.
Hey there!
I'm Steve Gattuso, a software engineer living in Brooklyn, NY who loves traveling, photography, rock climbing, and lambda functions.
I'm a big fan of being in control of my own content rather than proxying it through social networks, so you'll find this site to be a repository for whatever nonsensery I've decided to publish publically: anything from blog posts, to photography, to various travelogues.
I'm also available to hire as a software consultant and love talking to new people, so feel free to get in touch if you'd like to chat.

Something I’ve felt (and disliked) about American society is our desire to be self-sufficient as individuals. We don’t want to share with one another; we want our own and we want it to be better than everyone else’s. David Brooks, an op-ed columnist at the New York Times does an amazing job of explaining how this mentality has failed us, and gives advice of what we can do to fix it.
Somewhere in my head is a much longer essay about why I think this is so important, using the American preference of cars over public transit as an example of how we’ve lost sight of what we can achieve when we band together.
