Jerry Yoakum
About
Jerry Yoakum is looking for work as a software architect or another senior role over the SDLC. Helping teams plan solutions and management commitments is key skill.
Jerry Yoakum writes a blog, Jerry Yoakum: Cogitation about Computing, that is focused on software engineering. He references articles and books from the past because he wants to drive home that software engineering has not changed so much that we should delude ourselves into thinking that that we stand apart from the founders. We stand on their shoulders and can only make real improvements by learning from them. Otherwise we just make the same mistakes over again.
Jerry enjoys getting outdoors to go canoeing or hiking. He likes learning but makes an effort to read some fiction to remain balanced.
