I’ve launched [KillAllDefects.com](https://killalldefects.com/) to offer a central place for my ideas and experiments on software quality.

So, what’s [Kill All Defects](https://killalldefects.com/) about? In short, _it’s all about exploring ways to improve the quality of the software we develop_.

I’ll be exploring ways of improving [.NET](https://killalldefects.com/dotnet/) and [JavaScript](https://killalldefects.com/javascript/) technologies to improve reliability, identify defects quickly, and guarantee the greatest degree of software quality.

I’ll be talking about unit testing, test plans, strategies for handling risk and defects, as well as [soft skills](https://killalldefects.com/soft-skills/) and techniques for working _with_ management to ensure _all_ organizational needs are met as best as possible – from addressing tech debt to reducing support incidents to meeting strategic goals.

I’ll also be talking about [software architecture](https://killalldefects.com/architecture/) and the role it plays in software quality, from layer and service design to DevOps, CI/CD Pipelines, and deployment techniques.

## Why?

So, what triggered all this? I had been working on slides for [my talk at CodeMash](https://www.codemash.org/session-details/?id=143477) and I came to the end of the deck and realized I had so much more I wanted to share with people. People needed a single memorable link to learn more about software quality.

I was also reading [Technical Blogging 2nd Edition](https://pragprog.com/book/actb2/technical-blogging-second-edition) at the time. This book discusses the benefits of launching on your own blogging site. I had been reading to improve my articles, but the advice rang true. I decided to take the plunge and launch my own site, and so [KillAllDefects.com](https://killalldefects.com/) was born.

_My goal is to provide a central place to explore ways to improve the quality of the software we develop._

## What’s Next?

I’m still going to be posting my content to [dev.to](https://dev.to/integerman) and [Medium](https://medium.com/@matteland) as usual, and promoting it via [Twitter](https://twitter.com/integerman) and, occasionally, [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matteland/), so really what’s changing is that now I have one point of origin for everything.

[Let me know what you think and what you’d like me to cover.](https://killalldefects.com/contact/)

I’m excited to double-down on technical writing and to continue to explore ways of improving our software and teams.
