Sid Shanker's Blog

I'm a programmer living in NYC. Currently working at Twitter. I'm an alum & huge fan of the Recurse Center. Using this space to share various things I've learn about Computer Science & Software Engineering--I'm currently interested in Networking and Distributed Systems.

Opinions my own.

Follow me on Twitter, check out my projects on Github, and read my blog posts on Medium.
