Yawning Chasm

This is a space for my thoughts that don't quite fit anywhere else. Another manifestation of the nonsense in my notes app typed into my phone at 0230h. A collection of observations about building stuff, life, parenting, and whatever else demanded attention instead of the more blissful void of sleep.

Why Start Yet Another Stupid Blog?

Because the void called and I wanted to finally answer (about twenty years late to the party)? Also, I have opinions, and the internet has apparently fully committed to "having opinions" as sufficient qualifications to publish whatever.

What To Expect Lowered Expectations

Expect irregular posts about:

Software Engineering: Technical crap, architecture crap, and why that refactor you're planning probably isn't worth it (but you'll do it anyway, just like I probably would in your shoes)
Society & Humanity: Hot takes cooled by age and experience (A.K.A.: barely-tempered ragebait?)
Fatherhood: Parenting while trying to remain a functional human being
Whatever Else: The beauty of having your own corner of the internet is that there are no rules... SHUT UP, YOU'RE NOT MY DAD!

The Format

Posts will vary in length and depth. Some will be quick observations. Others will be longer essays. All will be written with the assumption that you, dear reader, are intelligent enough to think for yourself. Or that you're not, and you'll find me the most entertainingly condescending internet goblin you've read (since breakfast).

No clickbait. No growth hacking. No "10 Ways to Optimize Your Morning Routine With Poutine." Just thoughts, (hopefully) reasonably well-articulated.

Let's Begin

You are large, You contain multitudes. Let's fill you up with something interesting for a minute before we all disappear into the (dun dun dun) Yawning Chasm forever.

Welcome. Now go away. Daddy's writing.

I should've said "please." Please go away. Sorry, child.
