Reading
138 postsMany of the books that I regularly read and opine on; not every review is a recommendation.
Thoughts
134 postsThe result of reflecting and introspecting and putting brainpower behind an idea. Or three.
Games
84 postsVideo games as a hobby and as an industry. I've been a gamer ever since my parents got me a Famicom in grade school, and it has stayed an exciting medium and form of entertainment.
Management
83 postsThe latter half of my tech career, firmly residing in engineering management matters and all that entails. The job of dealing with people.
Engineering
79 postsSoftware engineering as a discipline and a practice. How software gets ideated, designed and architected, built and tested and deployed to customers.

Startups

Rant

Blog
34 postsMeta commentary about blogging and how this site came to be. It was cooler in the 2000s.
Front-End
33 postsFront-end web development, a discipline within software engineering that came about with the prominence of the web. This used to be mostly about rendering sites consistently across browsers; it has since become its own, distinct, app platform.
