# About the author {-}

![The author, engraved from life.](assets/author.jpg){width=2.4in}

Clint Ecker keeps a small press in Chicago. He has written software for a
long time and now writes it the way this manual describes: as the
proprietor of a shop where several tireless machines do the composing and
nothing ships on capacity alone. An earlier volume from the same bench
concerns the several conditions under which software may be declared
finished; this one concerns the shop that makes such declarations possible.

He can be reached at clint@lgtm.systems, and prefers letters that begin with
the exact page on which he is wrong.
