Things worth sharing.

Producer, writer, and probably the person I have listened to the most in the last two years. His whole thesis is about removing the unnecessary until only the essential remains. That applies to music, and it applies to software.

Writes about engineering leadership without the buzzword layer. The kind of writing I trust most -- specific, honest, unromantic about what actually happens in engineering organisations.

Front-end writing with restraint. Short posts, good typography, a strong opinion about reading on the web. Almost everything I like about well-made sites, he has written about first.

A living notebook. Almost nothing here is polished, and that is the point. The form is closer to how thinking actually works than most published writing.

Tim Urban. A short reframing of time as a finite count rather than an infinite budget. The kind of piece that changes one decision you were about to make.

Bret Victor. The argument that a principle -- a thing you believe is wrong with the world -- is a better compass than a career plan. Watch it once a year.

Richard Hamming. A 1986 talk that keeps being relevant because the question it asks does not age. What are the important problems in your field, and why are you not working on them?

Paul Graham. Long, occasionally self-indulgent, and worth the read anyway. The through-line -- do the work that interests you, follow curiosity, be patient -- is not new but is unusually well argued.

Static hosting with a free tier that is genuinely free. No surprise bills, no cold-start horror stories. This site runs on it.

A contact form backend that just works. No signup wall, no dashboard you have to learn, no silent failures. Exactly the right amount of service for a small site.

Where most of my side projects start. The Gemini API is fast, cheap, and honest about what it can and cannot do. The playground is nicer than it has any right to be.

The editor I keep coming back to. Opens instantly, no extension ecosystem to maintain, no configuration to fiddle with. Sometimes that is the whole point.
