Why I'm writing this down

For years my thinking has lived in three places: a task manager, a pile of half-finished notes, and my own head. The first two are private and the third is unreliable. This site is an attempt to put the durable parts somewhere I can find them again, and where someone else might find them useful.

What goes here

Posts are the considered pieces. Something I’ve worked through enough to stand behind, whether that’s an argument about how to run infrastructure or a walkthrough of a problem I finally understood.

Notes are everything else. A link with a sentence of context, a thought that isn’t ready to be an argument, a thing I want to remember I thought.

The rules

1. Write the note when the thought happens, not later.
2. Dates are honest. If I change my mind, the old post stays and a new one says so.
3. No comments. If you disagree, email me. A conversation is better than a thread.

That’s the whole plan. Here’s a small equation to prove the math rendering works, $E = mc^2$, and a code block to prove the highlighting does too:

def reading_time(words: int, wpm: int = 220) -> int:
    return max(1, round(words / wpm))

More soon.
