I deliberately separated it from my public internet persona (which is connected to my real name) in the hopes that I could write about weird, woo-y, or controversial topics without worry. I've got a few articles half baked and have been having fun engaging with a different subset of the Substack crowd than my normal tech focus would show me.

Of course the stats show that the one article I did that touches on AI has done an order of magnitude better than anything else.

Anyway this is just kind of a weird sideline project, a sort of release valve for stuff that wouldn't fit in on my "professional" site, but it's been a fun thing to spend some time on.

Another thing that's cool is that I largely stopped _writing_ a few years back. I always enjoyed writing but of course as a dev most of my stuff had a technical/tutorial bent to it. Writing weird little "what do I think" essays has forced me to exercise a writing muscle I really hadn't stretched for a long time and I've enjoyed it.

There's only a handful of things up now, it's nothing special really. Link in my bio, if you see something you like I would love to hear from you!
