bracynj ~ %Introduction
Creating a technical (and maybe even somewhat un-technical at times) blog has been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. While I’ve been writing code for close to 8 years now, this blog is my first attempt to chronicle those technical expeditions which, for lack of a better medium, have been lost to memory.
While I’m mainly writing for (future) me, I’ll do my best to include enough context to make my work useful to anyone who might stumble across it. I expect to cover a variety of subjects, and while most of them will be directly related to software engineering / nerd culture, I think there will be ample opportunity to tie-in some art, music, and random odds and ends.
With that said, I hope you find something useful here! Questions, comments, and feedback are always welcome. You may reach me via email or read about me on my personal website.
