About

I am Göran Krampe and this is my blog where I mainly write about software development and motor boating. Since 2011 I am a freelance software developer available for work both in Stockholm on site and internationally by remote. See my main website for more information.

This blog’s name “Roads Less Taken” refers to the poem called “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost which describes how a traveler in a forest decides to take one of the two roads in front of him – “the one less traveled by”. Here you can find the full poem, I especially like that last part:

     "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
     I took the one less traveled by,
     And that has made all the difference."

I think that sets the mood for what I would like to write about in software development on this blog, namely that you can gain a lot by choosing “Roads” (think tools, methods, interests and techniques) that are “Less Taken” (not among the most popular that everyone else uses). Daring to be different and choosing the right tool for the job. Or at least open your mind and learn. :)
