Hello. I am a software engineer from Portland hoping to spread some knowledge when I have something possibly interesting to share.
This is a new thing for me, technical blogging, so it might take me a little time to get started, but I hope I can start to churn out a regular stream of meaningful content quickly.
I have increasingly been feeling the pressure to start a technical blog. I tend to dig into weird, obscure issues fairly frequently, and have often thought my notes could be of interest and/or help to others. But setting up a blog and writing content takes time, and I just haven’t been able to convince myself to make it happen.
That was, until I was lucky enough to attend FOSDEM last weekend. In a talk by Claire Giordano called Fibonacci Spirals and 21 Ways to Contribute to Postgres—Beyond Code, I became convinced it was time to start writing. I’ve also wanted to contribute more to open source, and Claire pointed out that writing blogs is a way to help open source! That is, documenting how to work with and use open source software is just as important as making code contributions.
After all, what good is open code no one knows how to use, or even what it is good for?
So here I am. Please, stay tuned. I have more content coming.
