These are some thoughts that I've developed in my experience working with teams that make software. While much of this relates to what I've learned in the context of software development, I believe these things to be generally applicable to life and relationships.

I have often had the intention to share something, but most frequently I end up not doing so in the end. I've been thinking about why this is, and I'm trying to identify the reasons that I don't often post things. Here are some.

I think time has been my largest constraint lately.

So I've had this itch to have my own website — a vague picture of what I want to do with it. I've put a lot of work into it already now, and as I now try to clarify my intentions, I am asking myself: what do I want to get out of this?

I'm a strong believer in the idea that writing is thinking. Writing articulately is invaluable, and it's something I'd like to spend more time doing. Putting a thought into writing is not the simple relocation of the idea from your head to words on a page, but indeed plays a critical role in the formulation of the thought itself.

My relationship with the internet has largely been readonly, but I’m trying to change that.

Sharing things on the internet has long been a difficult thing for me. There was a time when I felt like I didn't share much because I don't have anything to say, but I have realized that that's not really the case. I think it's more that I don't want to share much on the platforms I have had available to me.
