Mine is https://blog.lawrencejones.dev/

I’ve been working as a software engineer for about a decade now, primarily at startups. Recently the first employee at incident.io, before then working at GoCardless.

Tend to write about lessons I’ve learned that others find useful, or stories I think will be enjoyable. Helps me collect my thoughts and practice my writing!

Examples would be;

- Want to found a start-up? Work at one first (https://blog.lawrencejones.dev/learn-at-scale-up/)

- Adding latency: one step, two step, oops (https://blog.lawrencejones.dev/latency/)

- My most impactful code (https://blog.lawrencejones.dev/most-impactful/)

- On working too hard: finding balance, and lessons learned from others (https://blog.lawrencejones.dev/working-too-hard/)

Occasionally get a popular share on HN or people mentioning they read my blog in real life, which makes it feel worth it.
