Ben Hall
I build tools for developers. London.
Right now I'm working on two things. Restaged is a whole synthetic company, with its people, repos, tickets and mail, served over the real protocols of the vendors you'd expect. Agents can read everything, write anything, get it wrong and reset, and nothing touches a real system. The other one isn't ready to talk about yet.
Before this I created Katacoda, the interactive learning platform that ran real Docker and Kubernetes environments in the browser. I started it in 2016 and it was acquired by O'Reilly Media at the end of 2019, where I joined as VP of Product Interactivity. Before Katacoda I was consulting on containers through Ocelot Uproar and spending a lot of time at conferences talking about Docker, Kubernetes, startups and .NET.
Experiments
I'm building in public for a bit. Each experiment gets a page here: what I tried, what happened, and what I'd change. See the experiments.
