Tim is a Sr. Director of Cloud Engineering, a technical architect, developer, and trainer with a focus on the ServiceNow ITSM+ platform. He's also an author, but I feel like you've probably figured that out.

Tim has been working in IT, software development, and information security for two decades, and writes a popular ServiceNow development blog, SN Pro Tips, where a myriad of articles and free tools can be found. Tim is also the founder of The Precipice Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity dedicated to preventing homelessness before it happens.

When not keeping busy with ServiceNow, writing books and articles, publishing free tools, and working to prevent homelessness, Tim enjoys studying physics, exploring ghost towns, and going on

Enshittification by Cory Doctorow
“Meanwhile, ad fraud was going wild. Advertisers were paying billions for ads that no one ever saw. In 2018, Procter & Gamble zeroed out its $200 million annual “programmatic advertising”8 budget and saw no decline in sales.9 It seems all of those ads were either: Being shown to random people rather than the people P&G was paying to target; or Not being shown to anyone.”

Enshittification by Cory Doctorow
“First, platforms are good to their users. Then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers. Next, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Finally, they have become a giant pile of shit.”

Enshittification by Cory Doctorow
“This era, the Enshittocene, is the result of specific policy decisions, made by named individuals. Once we identify those decisions and those individuals, we can act. We can reverse the decisions. We can name the individuals. We can even estimate what size pitchfork they wear. Or at the very least, we can make sure that they are never again trusted with the power to make policy decisions for the rest of us.”

“Even in the unending abyss that seals eternity at both ends,
if your function could compile to run on stray vacuum energy
and, given an input, it once returned some particular string,
it should, given that input, return that string again.
> [object Object]”
Tim Woodruff, ServiceNow Development Handbook - 4th Edition: A compendium of ServiceNow "NOW" platform development and architecture pro-tips, guidelines, and best practices

“Time dilation occurs at relativistic speeds, in the presence of intense gravitational fields, and while waiting for a webpage to load.”
Tim Woodruff, ServiceNow Development Handbook - 4th Edition: A compendium of ServiceNow "NOW" platform development and architecture pro-tips, guidelines, and best practices

“Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.
—Martin Golding”
Tim Woodruff, ServiceNow Development Handbook: A Compendium of Guidelines and Best Practices for ServiceNow Developers

“Here's what's not beautiful about it: from here, you can't see the rust or the cracked paint or whatever, but you can tell what the place really is. You can see how fake it all is. It's not even hard enough to be made out of plastic. It's a paper town. I mean, look at it, Q: look at all those culs-de-sac, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm. All the paper kids drinking beer some bum bought for them at the paper convenience store. Everyone demented with the mania of owning things. All the things paper-thin and paper-frail. And all the people, too. I've lived here for eighteen years and I have never once in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters.”
John Green, Paper Towns

“We bring the fucking rain Q, not the scattered showers.”
John Green

“You’re not really an adult at all. You’re just a tall child holding a beer, having a conversation you don’t understand.”
Dylan Moran

“Well, this won’t be the first time I’ve fought my way out of a cargo hold using only creamed corn and my wits.”
Robert Kroese, Out of the Soylent Planet (A Rex Nihilo Adventure)

“Distrust environments where requirements are gathered, specifications are written, and then coding starts, all in isolation.”
Andrew Hunt, The Pragmatic Programmer
