About The Code Less Traveled

The Code Less Traveled is my blog, and I mean for it to be a story of mistakes that I have made and what I have learned from them. The best piece of advice that I ever received was to “Cherish my mistakes”. So, feel free to cherish my mistakes, especially if it means avoiding your own.

About Me

My name is Joel Lubrano and I am a software developer, but I never said that I was any good.

I currently work with Stitch Fix. My work at Stitch Fix deals primarily with Ruby on Rails, RabbitMQ, and third-party integrations. The Stitch Fix ecosystem is extremely distributed; it feels like someone is creating a new microservice every week.

Before I joined Stitch Fix, I worked for a startup called, MakeTime; MakeTime was a Ruby on Rails shop with a sprinkle of Python here and there. MakeTime has since been purchased by Xometry. Prior to my years at MakeTime, I was a software engineer with Lexmark International. Most of my work at Lexmark was with Java, PHP, and MeteorJS.
