Ask Steve!

Whenever we have a software problem at the Software Sustainability Institute, we simply ask Steve. He’s our in-house software architect and all-round guru of code. Then we got to thinking: it’s selfish to keep such a valuable resource  to ourselves, we should make Steve’s knowledge available to everyone. And that’s when the idea for this blog series was born.
