Hello World
Who am I?
I'm sure I'll talk more about myself as I write here, but I'm a software engineer based in the US.
Why am I making a blog?
- I've recently been reading a bunch of good writing online, and have felt inspired. I am also a big fan of video essays, and would love to try my hand at that as well someday, but a blog seems like a much more manageable scale, if I'm actually trying to finish anything (which if you're reading this, I have finished at least one blog post. Yay!)
- I sometimes have thoughts that swirl around my head, which won't settle into a coherent shape until I work with them a bit, putting them onto a page. I hope for this to be a space to explore things like that (whatever topics that ends up being over time)
What should you expect here?
I dunno, I'm just as new to this blog as you are!
The current things I'm considering writing about are:
- my yearly theme for 2025: "Year of Weigh Anchor"
- my requirements/wants for a software engineering job
- my overall thoughts on the state of tech
- my thoughts on the quote "We can never see past the choices we don't understand" from The Matrix Reloaded
- the stock market is bad, and here's why
We'll see what happens!
