Confessions of a Professional Overachiever (Now Accepting Caffeine-Based Bribes)

Apr 26, 2025

Hi, I'm Darrin,

I'm an author, a musician, and a software engineer — otherwise known as "three careers, zero stability."

In short:
I produce novels, noise, and nervous breakdowns — sometimes all three at once!

Unfortunately, these noble pursuits don’t pay in actual currency. They mostly pay in existential crises and crumbs found inside computer keyboards.

Which is why I’m now humbly, shamelessly, and slightly caffeinatedly begging for micro-donations via Buy Me a Coffee.

Why should you donate?
Because every $3 helps me:

  • Replace a keyboard ruined by coffee-related "inspiration incidents,"

  • Write music so experimental even aliens would say, "too weird, bro,"

  • Code apps that mostly work if you squint hard enough,

  • And finish novels where characters make fewer bad life choices than I do (but not by much).

Without your support, my future looks like:

  • Programming on a potato,

  • Composing avant-garde symphonies exclusively for cat and Roomba,

  • And self-publishing a 47-volume epic titled "Chronicles of Caffeine and Crying."

Donate today, and you too can feel the warm glow of knowing you personally helped delay my inevitable descent into full-time wizard hermitry.

Support someone whose tax returns are a "choose your own adventure" story.

Coffee: Because keyboard-based ambition runs on liquid chaos.
