The last time I wrote a blog post, I was a student at the University of Rochester, mostly writing about little JavaScript tips and tricks I was picking up as I got my life in tech started in 2013. That was a very cold winter, if memory serves me.
Why I created this space in 2026
In one sense, it feels a bit silly to start blogging now, of all times. After all, most folks spend their time on a handful of social media platforms, and do not “surf the web” like me and my fellow geezers (said with love, and the reflection of someone who just turned 30) did back in the 2000s.
Where I was the last time I wrote a blog post…
I don’t expect this space to reach many folks, or benefit me in some material sense. But it feels nice to create a little archive for myself and the things I spend my time on this Earth doing. And it feels nicer to write here rather than on one of the ever-changing social media platforms like Instagram, where there’s very little incentive for the algoritm to present folks with content that isn’t some combination of horny, sensationalized, or rage-inducing.
What I’ll probably write about
Thought I’m sure I’ll touch on fun topics like software development and music, as I spend a lot of time in those spaces, I also want to write about some things near and dear to my heart that can’t be reduced down to simply advertising my skills to the world.
Things like:
- Grappling with the impact of AI as a tech worker
- The often isolating nature of modern life
- Social phenomena I observe around me
- Life in New York City
- Struggles related to being transgender, when interesting
