Who?

I work at Sentry.io where I add my cursor generated slop (more on that soon) to their React SPA. Outside of work, I’ve made xmplaylist.com, a music discovery and song tracking app for Sirius XM which runs on Tanstack Start + hono, my current favorite stack. This blog is built with Astro which I’ve never used before.

Why sigh.dev?

My name is Scott Cooper. If you google my name, you’ll find a movie director or a baseball player. My name is essentially annonymous on the internet which can be great. scottcooper.dev is literally owned by someone that seems to do the same thing as me. The sigh.dev domain name is short and sad which is great. The blog theme is currently inspired by soloraized blue theme, weirdly I don’t use that theme. My favorite theme is Dracula + Menlo font. You can actually buy Dracula pro now? But should you?

Slightly more about me

I’ve been a developer for 10+ years, mostly worked at startups that have run out of money. I once helped send over a billion emails in a 24 hour period and this was not an accident. I watch a lot of movies, especially horror movies, some even by director Scott Cooper. I’ve been trying to do a better job of leaving reviews on my letterboxd profile this year.

Diving in

I’m an idiot in San Francisco, but I’ve figured out TypeScript and you’re going to hear about it. If you want updates, subscribe to the posts RSS.
