Hey there, I’m Joe Cotton but I go by nevada_scout online.
I’m a Staff Software Engineer at Jamf where I’m using Angular to work on the Jamf Now frontend application.
You may know me as the creator of the Crane plugin for Visual Studio Code. It was the first PHP plugin for VS Code and provided code completion and navigation. Over its 3 year life, the plugin was used by nearly 250,000 people.
I was born in the UK and lived there for over 20 years, but I now live in southern Poland with my partner and two cats.
This blog will primarily be about software development, but it will also feature excerpts from my life including house construction, cooking (somewhat unusual for a software engineer, I know), and life in Poland.
