Been up and down on cadence over the years, but a few posts that have shown up here.

- Give me back my monolith - https://www.craigkerstiens.com/2019/03/13/give-me-back-my-mo...

Mostly I rant about things and it becomes a jumbled mess of crap. My issue is keeping things short.

More interesting than my blog is the discussions that happen because of them: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Interesting ones include:

* Cloudflare is turning off the internet for me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22109969

* My Manager spent $1M on a backup server I never used: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35001272

* I don't trust Signal: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36386884

* How to survive an open office: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20469470

(the final one seeming much less relevant these days, thankfully).

Daily blogging from me. Going back a looooong time. Mix of technical and personal. A few posts from it seem to resonate here.

20+ years of UNIX/macOS related stuff, including ARM hardware, various electronics shenanigans and nearly 10000 interlinked Wiki pages:

Intermittent posting, mostly about random things I observe using macOS, or traveling.

I should post more. I'm kind of leaning more towards an old-style homepage than a blog though, that's why I separated out the Notes and Miscellany sections for things that don't really make sense as a part of a chronological series of posts.

2,155 posts on parenting, traditional music, contra dance, effective altruism, programming, cooking, and anything else I'm excited about at the moment.

More broadly though

Technology and technology-adjacent culture posts a few times per year. Mostly around my interest in data, programming, APIs, cryptography, travel, books, and consulting (way back in the 00s).

Mostly about search engine development.

I write about software engineering, academia, product design, and usability. About 3/4 of them generate notable discussion on HN.
