Hello

Writing web stuff since 1998. Woodsman since 2022. I write code, manage woodland and care about both. I won’t turn on paid subscriptions until I’ve got a good reason do so. But I’d appreciate you subscribing for free.

The topics I write about are:

software
programming languages
technology infrastructure
information security
meditation and our relationship with ourselves
woodland management
woodworking
probably food

However, I use those topics to write about my journey to becoming a better human. It’s not a how-to. It’s a how-I-do.

My hope and intention is that through my writing I can become a better software engineer. If I help others in that quest then that’s excellent.

AI

I use AI when I write code. I treat it like an assistant and I’m polite to it. I’m not a vibe coder and frankly, I find that it doesn’t write code that I like. It’s the extra set of eyes and person to bounce ideas off.

However, on this substack, NONE of it is written with AI. It’s all organic, typo-laced human.
