My new project: Tact, a simple chat app.

Works

You’ll find two kinds of my works here.

First, influential blog posts. I like to write, even though I don’t do this any more as often as I used to. My blog is a mix of random musings, personal and political observations, and deeper technical posts. Some posts have been useful to many people and I continue to receive incoming traffic and feedback about them. So, I point these interesting posts out here.

Second, there’s a list of projects which is more similar to a typical portfolio. You’ll find a mix of personal and hobby projects, schoolwork, and professional work.
