Not very many posts. I only started trying to take writing for it seriously the last few months, with a target of one post per month. But I think "All you need is data and functions" is a pretty good read! Briefly made the front page of HN shortly after it was published.
I merge things across essays, notes, talks, podcasts, tutorials, and snippets and have 542 items.

Not much content there (guilty of the classic "dev building a blog engine rather than writing content" paradigm), but I had some fun writing interactive articles.
Currently looking into moving from static versioned markdown to a better authoring experience, any pointers welcome.

Not a lot there right now. When I rehosted from WordPress to Hugo (after HostPapa started jacking up prices), I pulled a number of posts. Since I've been on hiatus from adding material to my blog. But, now that Reddit and Twitter have really soured, I'm leaning toward making it the one place where share thoughts.
I blog on everything about Dev, DevOps, and Quality.
A number of topics are on dev speed: fast Dev, fast DevOps (e.g. TDD with cloud resources), fast Startup (post-deploy feedback like A/B testing). Some articles are published, many are in the coffee pot, waiting to be poured out :)
Drop by and say hi!
I wrote a blog before this one for 19 years and I closed it because the archive of posts had too much weight and limited me on what I could write. Or that I thought. Turns out I write pretty much the same now.
