Hello, world

Why I started this site, and what I plan to write about.

Every developer eventually builds a personal site. This one is mine.

Why bother?

Writing things down is the best way I know to check whether I actually understand them. If I can’t explain something in a few paragraphs, I probably have more digging to do.

It’s also a place to keep the notes I’d otherwise lose: the fix for that odd build error, the trick that made a test suite twice as fast, the book chapter that changed how I think about a problem.

What to expect

  • Write-ups of things I’ve built or broken
  • Notes on back-end systems, testing and developer tooling
  • The occasional tangent into whatever I’m curious about
