Building on the side
- This site — small, fast, hand-built, refurnished gently every few months.
- A small Go service for personal analytics. Privacy-first, no third parties, structured logs to a quiet Postgres.
Reading
- Thinking, Fast and Slow Daniel Kahneman
The rest of the shelf lives in the library.
Learning
- Distributed consensus — Raft, then enough Paxos to argue about it.
- Rust, slowly and on purpose. Mostly via small command-line tools.
- Better writing. Shorter sentences. Fewer adverbs.
