About

I build software. This is where I write about how it actually gets made — the decisions that turn out to matter, the ones that turn out not to, and the difference between the two.

This site

Markdown files in a git repository, rendered by Laravel. No database, no CMS, no admin interface.

Because everything is a file, the site can read all of itself cheaply, which is where the graph comes from. Mentions of any defined topic become links automatically, every page lists what links to it, and none of that is maintained by hand.

Elsewhere

Posts are available over RSS and JSON Feed. The graph is public as JSON. Everywhere else I turn up is linked at the bottom of every page.
