Rebooting the blog
After trying to write long-form content for a while back in 2019-20 and realising that a) I now don’t have the time for it, and b) it’s hard to stay motivated for the length of an entire piece, I’ve decided to revamp my website and focus on building up a short-form blog.
As I get increasingly involved in local housing groups, my church, and hopefully doing more speaking in the local PHP and JS communities, I want to start writing up my thoughts and learning publicly.
My inspirations are:
- Tom MacWright’s consistency and vibe
- swyx’s learning in public (also Simon Willison’s TILs)
- Devon Zuegel’s strong opinions weakly held
- Cory Doctorow’s obsessive hyperlinking
I’m going to try copying Tom’s micro-blog format to give myself a space to not write multi-page multi-draft epics.
