Substantial writing: architecture, engineering philosophy, technical explanations, and the implications of new technology.
What happens when you build software around the way your family actually lives? I’ve spent a good portion of my career building software for other people. Recently, I started thinking more seriously about what it would look like to apply that experience to my own household. Not another productivity app. Not another collection of reminders, […]
