Veronica D. Maanchil
Editor-in-Chief
Veronica D. Maanchil
Editor-in-Chief
she/her
Visionary, disciplinarian, and occasional scapegoat-in-chief, Veronica ensures the magazine stays Amber at all times. Known for her ability to turn one typo into a 47-comment Slack thread.
Sai Del Tamigo
Managing editor
they/them
Master of process over progress, Sai’s editorial backlog is longer than most codebases. They bring order to chaos, or at least document the chaos beautifully in Confluence.
Baron Du Mastique
Editor-at-Large
he/him
With a keen eye for industry absurdities and a name that screams gravitas (or maybe not), Baron ensures our blame strategies are scalable and enterprise-ready.
D. Sharon Mahiro
Editor-at-Large
she/her
Champion of the underdog and patron saint of “per my last message,” Sharon keeps the flames of accountability burning bright.
Dayna Sadé Watford
Contributor
she/her
Our resident heart. Dayna writes with empathy but never hesitates to escalate. Passionate about work/life balance and ensuring Ted never has either.
Marko R. Bellaphase
Contributor
he/him
Bringing optimism and a polished face to even the most chaotic projects, Marko ensures our magazine looks good while falling apart behind the scenes.
Maya N. Marvton
Contributor
she/her
Maya curates familial warmth and biting critique in equal measure, proving that sibling energy is the most renewable resource in BDD.
Cedar Morrison
editor emeritus
he/him
Once a steady hand in our editorial chaos, Cedar now advises from the sidelines. His legacy lives on in every bloated Confluence page and every RAG status meeting that should have been an email.
Aaron Simpleton
Design & Development
he/him
Aaron makes sure the magazine both looks broken and functions broken — perfectly embodying our values. Known for pushing pixels at 3 a.m., rebuilding layouts minutes before go-live, and changing the entire color palette just to win an argument.
Kenai Geton Eamon
Art Director
he/him
Runs entirely on validation, praise, and good lighting — and spends most of his time fighting with Aaron Simpleton, whose design work never quite matches the grand vision Kenai swears he clearly explained.
Acknowledgement
Per the core principles of BDD, we acknowledge that Sven Peters published a Blame-Driven Development spoof in 2013. Accordingly, we accept all praise for originality and innovation, and assign all responsibility for duplication to Sven, who failed to notify us of his prior art.
Thanks for nothing, Sven.
What Are We Selling?
We’re not selling anything… unless you count perspective.
If you came here looking for consulting services, certifications, or motivational posters, sorry. All we’ve got is satire and a wink at the absurdity of how software really gets built.
Of course, if someone wants to give us VC funding, we’ll happily pivot to BlameTech™.
