Hi, I'm Jeff Lindsay. I've been at the forefront of cloud and developer tooling for the last 20 years. Now I'm building new software abstractions and primitives that will soon come together in a set of tools and platforms that will define the future of software. Help me do it right!

What sponsorship does
Your sponsorship allows me to build Tractor and related projects full time without taking on distracting work. Mostly it also helps pay for my small team of contractors and collaborators. This kind of independent research and development is slow, costly, and stressful. I am deeply grateful for your patronage.
Thank you! ✌️💀
