Hello, world. Again.

Every few years I convince myself I need a blog. I set one up, write two posts, and then abandon it the moment work gets interesting. This is attempt number who-knows.

The difference this time is scope. This site has no analytics to watch and no theme to endlessly fiddle with. It’s a folder of markdown files. The only feature is writing.

So what goes here? Musings, mostly:

  • things I learned building software that I wish someone had told me earlier
  • opinions I hold a little too strongly about tools, design, and process
  • notes to my future self, published on the off chance they help someone else

The best time to start a blog was ten years ago. The second best time is after you’ve stopped caring whether anyone reads it.

That’s the whole plan. See you in the next one, hopefully sooner than in two years.
