This is not a blog. Blogs have audiences, schedules, and an opinion about content marketing. This is a notebook with a URL. I write a post when I forget something, and I find it useful. If you find it useful too, that’s a bonus.

About 180 notes across eight topics, zero editorial calendar. The sidebar is the index, search is in the top bar.

What’s actually in here#

  • Coding: language notes for polyglots, not beginners. Go has twenty-two notes, F# has fourteen, and there is C, C#, Java, Python, Rust, JS/TS, shell, and SQL on top.
  • Cloud: AWS in depth (IAM, CLI, VPC, S3, EKS, ECS, RDS, messaging), Azure fundamentals (CAF, RBAC, App Service, CLI), and a small Digito sub-section.
  • Frameworks: libraries I have built with. Django, Scrapy, TensorFlow, CNTK, iText, MoviePy, PHP web stack.
  • OS: install and config notes for the systems I run. Ubuntu desktop and server across multiple releases, CentOS, macOS, Raspberry Pi, Windows Terminal, neovim.
  • Hacks: the small stuff that costs an afternoon if you don’t know it. Git, Docker, SFTP/PGP, VirtualBox, QEMU, CAS, Windows command-line tricks.
  • Management: process frameworks I keep coming back to. CMMI, CMMI v2, COBIT 5, and a short Scrum vs Kanban comparison.
  • Blogs: editorial pieces that do not fit anywhere else. Building a blog on GitHub Pages, an SRE explainer, framework shootouts, mobile-app decisions, Jira notes.
  • Projects: starter kits I have built and shared. CRM templates across Vue 2, Angular, and React, plus a Python flat-API scaffold and a 5-minute Kubernetes cluster.

If you only have ten minutes#

These four cover the most ground:

A note on dates#

The newest post is from 2020. The coding/ notes have held up, since Go and Python are conservative about breaking changes. The cloud/ notes have aged more, since AWS has changed substantially since these were written. I still read them, but I cross-check anything in cloud/ against the current docs.
