« I'm back (2025)

Hello again.

I’m getting back into writing.

I probably won’t write consistently. We’ll see if I write something beyond the first few ideas I have.

I’ve always had a hard time deciding when I’ve had a thought worth writing down, and also sharing. I’ve found that it’s useful way to work through some thoughts, though. It really helps me to get something ready to share. It forces me to think about how I actually feel, how to present it, and whether it’s something I should rethink, research, or just let go.

So, I’m “back”.

Was I here before?

I’ll have bad insights, experiences, and once in a while I might have a thing I’m actually glad I shared. Good luck with everything in between.

I doubt I said this on a blog ever so here’s a bit about me in 2025:

• I’ve been a software engineer since around 2008
• I’m a husband (as of 2019)
• I’m a dad (as of 2023)
• I like building things that are useful for people
• I have strong beliefs about how people should treat each other and how should and do systems affect that
• I have strong beliefs about how people should treat the planet and how systems should and do affect that

I don’t know what I’ll write about. I’ll write about software I’m learning about, working on, or using. I’ll probably write about life. I’ll maybe write about things that I need to externalize in order to explore an idea out loud. I’ll write about what I feel like writing about.

I’m not sure how much I love the old posts I had. I almost removed them. I’m going to leave them up for now. Like tattoos, they illustrate where my head was at during different times.

Cheers and, if you’re reading this, welcome.

Be good to each other.
