Hello, World

The first post. About this space, what it's for, and why I finally built it instead of just thinking about building it.

meta

Every developer has, at some point, planned to build a personal site.

Most of those sites don't exist. They live in a graveyard of unfinished projects, abandoned Figma files, and a ~/projects directory that hasn't been opened in months.

This one exists. You're reading it.

What This Is

This is a space I'm using to:

  • Document my setup (hardware, software, the keyboard people ask about)
  • Write about things I'm thinking through — code, tools, process
  • Have a corner of the internet that's mine, not a platform's

It's not going to be updated every week. I don't have a content calendar. When something is worth writing down, I'll write it down here.

What Took So Long

Partly: every time I started building this, I got opinionated about something and started over.

Partly: I kept waiting until the design was "right."

Mostly: I was building other things that felt more important.

The honest answer is that at some point I stopped waiting for perfect conditions and just built the thing. This site is the result.

What To Expect

I write about software engineering — architecture, tooling, process, things I've learned by getting them wrong first.

I write about keyboards — I use a split keyboard and people always want to know why. Now I have somewhere to point them.

I'll probably write about AI. I use it constantly, I think about it a lot, and I have more complex feelings about it than "it's amazing" or "it's going to kill us all."


If you made it here: hello. This is where I keep things.
