I take notes in the first person
I write in the first person because it helps me think through how I understand the world, and speaks better to my Future self when I visit past notes. The practice also keeps me from the trap of writing for others, trying to meet their unstated needs. Technical, how-to style notes, do not follow this convention. There is no value in rewriting my earlier notes. Email a comment

Why Write?
As a graduate of a liberal arts university, I wound up, unsurprisingly, taking a lot of classes in every possible academic discipline. Thinking back to the person that I was going into university, I don’t think I would have chosen to take them – after all, my degree was in the sciences; I’d have been stoked to do nothing more than wall-to-wall computer science until I ran out of coursework and filled the rest of my hours with research and independent studies with my professors (which, I guess I did actually do, just not as much as I would have otherwise). Even this blog&rsquo

Uncloud Unpush
Unpush is an experimental attempt to write automatic CI/CD in Uncloud, it either works via web hooks or polls a repository for changes. When seen it redeploys a service via its compose.yaml file from the repository. Now of course this works for GitHub, but we have GitLab and it reimplements a bunch of code from uncloud , which can all be removed if you just use the uc -tool. I will probably butcher the code quite a bit, so seems fair to push this to a different repository at some point.

Quoting Joan Westenberg
When I write for social media, I'm writing for someone who is one thumb-flick away from a video of either a hate crime or a dog riding a skateboard.

The format actively punishes nuance, which means that a thoughtful caveat reads as weakness and any acknowledgment of uncertainty looks like waffling. – Joan Westenberg , The Case for Blogging in the Ruins.

Pay attention to Chicago
I’ve felt compelled to write something about what it’s like living in Chicago during the moment we find ourselves in now, but luckily Dan Sinker wrote a piece that I can simply link to and quote here : What I need you to understand is that nobody is letting them go quietly. The Feds’ every movement is announced by a chorus of whistles, by a parade of cars honking in their wake, neighbors rushing outside to yell to film to witness these kidnappings that are unfolding in front of us. Neighbors running towards trouble. Like Fred Rogers said, “ look for the helpers. ” Don’t miss the resources at t

Ted Chiang : “There’s no way to write fiction and guarantee your readers will understand it correctly. There is no way you will ever be able to write something so straightforward that Elon Musk will understand it the way that you intend it.”
