You can find my musings at https://www.jakerobers.com/. I talk about tools that I use and improving software through refactoring. I like isolated TDD and try to explain why you should too. Basically if I bump into a situation in my day-to-day that warrants talking about, I’ll make a post.

I was going through depression and writing was the only way that helped me calm down. It really helped. It helped a lot. And whenever I feel like writing about certain topics (maybe philosophy, maybe life, maybe habits?), I jolt them down in my journal. Eventually, post them to my personal blog. Not sure if this is something anyone can find interesting to read about. There are poems, ranting, quotidian events.

Sorry you feel that way. I'm an independent creator and agree there's lots of room for improvement on everything I build, sometimes I do the thing that works/is quickest to do, move on, and then revisit when I have time - the design of the site, web optimisation techniques, a11y best practices, offline support, less gimmicky call-to-actions, marking deprecated features are examples of things I defo want to prioritise…
> I myself often use uBlock origin to select + remove sticky headers/sidebars/ads which often detract from the main reading experience. So then the question arises: why do you have a popup on your site that does exactly that?
To answer your q (btw it's not a popup), I tried to explain in my comment you're replying to:
> sometimes I do the thing that works/is quickest to do, move on, and then revisit when I have time
Knowing me, it was probably something where, at the time of building (2015), I saw elsewhere - naively assumed it was a good idea/it works, copied it and moved on. I didn't give it as much thought as I could have. Now it's a case to prioritise that and improve it, along with some other much needed optimisations.

Just read "On Rhetorical Devices" and liked it! Note that some of the linked pages aren't served due to GitHub Pages being temporarily down (at the time of writing of this comment).

Since this sub-thread intrigued me... I went to check this out. 11” iPad Pro running latest iOS gives me: https://imgur.com/ZSGMrC0 The only actual content is one headline at the bottom. Mailing list signup occupies the rest of the screen.
That's really useful, appreciated.

I began this during the covid-19 pandemic, mainly as a means of keeping myself sane.
It's targeted towards engineering managers, currently writing out my "Foundational" stuff -- things I live by as an engineering manager, the blend of people / process, and how to connect those in humane ways, while also taking care of yourself
As you can tell, I don't have my pitch down yet ;) It's still early days (only three articles, with intention to get one out every ~9 days), but it's been nice to get thoughts on paper

I write mostly about VR (some startup rants in there, too). You should read it if you're interested in VR topics (not too technical, but more opinions on broader trends, economics, etc.)
