Yes, it's been the reason I've been hired for the last 5 years: https://xeiaso.net It is now the reason I get consulting work.



I love your blog! Most blogs are clearly firewalled from the human that wrote them. But, yours almost feels like you take a bit of your lifeforce and somehow imbue it into the blog itself. Those posts are alive. I hope it isn't like a scene from the Dark Crystal where the Skeksis (your blog) are sucking your (urRu) life force from you. If so, I'll go find a landstrider and see what I can do.


Thanks! If I'm ever at a conference you are, tell me you like my blog for exclusive laptop stickers.

Amusingly enough, I actually have a bit of a unique problem with my blog: I have to avoid the urge to do bigger/better things constantly. I don't really know what this is called professionally, but I've been labeling it the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann fallacy. There's this sincere temptation to make everything bigger and better than the last one, but when you get to the point where your mech battles are literally using galaxies as shuriken, you can't really get much bigger. I feel like I've hit that point with my blog and without a lot of extra work I don't know if I can make things much "better" per se.

I've wanted to do interactive articles or something, but that would need me to totally rewrite my blog's backend in Next.JS or something. I've thought about doing that (in fact https://techaro.lol started out as a proof of concept for doing exactly that), but I'd want to contract a designer or something to make my blog not look terrible. IDK, many things I need to think about. Web design has always been my weak suit.
