Ah, the traditional call of the Software Engineer, exclaiming hello to the world.
I don't expect the world to say anything back though. Nor should it, there's nothing of value here.
So why does this exist then?
I have long suspected that in order to properly 'think' and process my thoughts that I must write them down.
I have tried using Obsidian.md and IRL notebooks. I can't make them stick. Writing with a target audience of future me just doesn't seem to work. Future-Jack mercilessly loathes past-Jack and deletes all his private thoughts.
But I don't know if it would be the same for current-Jack's public thoughts. They've got timestamps attached to them. They're not meant to represent an ever-green conception of myself.
For quite a while testing this theory has been blocked by the absence of somewhere public to put them. Oh sure I could have used SquareSpace or LiveJournal or other such nonsense, but I'm a Software Engineer, surely I've got to build it myself.
And so it has been put off. For months and then years.
Until today. On this Sunday Claude and I have vibe-slopped together a passable minimal website. I don't think it's very good, but at least it is something and it is live.
See you in the future. Maybe.
P.S
Wow writing is hard and wow I am not good at it!
