Random technical memos and tips.

Mainly technical and DevOps, Ansible posts. Many smaller posts about my TIL's.

Not a lot going on there but some people have told me they really like my essays so I elected to put my favourite ones online.

I don't really have a theme, other than just stuff that's interesting to me, but I'm proud of it as a body of work spanning more than a decade now.

Trying to get better at writing. I have like 54 articles in draft that I need to finish before year ends. :/

I’ve been writing on and off for a few years now! I’ve mostly been using this to note any particularly troublesome bugs/commands as well as use writing to think through some analysis throughout my career.

I post about engineering management, general thoughts on software and life. Occasionally you'll get jiu jitsu related content.

150 kilowords on Lisp, compilers, linear types, Rust, and broader software engineering opinions. Favorites:

I talk about application security and other stuff (common pitfalls from working on the field, career advices etc). I have yet to migrate the content from my old blog, but a new post will be released soon™.

An introduction is available here: https://appsec.space/posts/long-time-no-see/

My posts are sporadic and span nearly two decades now. It's all programming related -- stuff on statistics, music notation, systems administration, etc. Some of these got to the HN front page. :-)

A site about the most effective techniques to improve your memory, intelligence, and effectiveness. Built with a custom software stack, want to put more time into it soon.
