(click on All Posts). I write about web development, primarily React, but I’m trying to branch out into other front end and back end stuff. I’ve got some full tutorial-size articles on things like React, Redux, Svelte, and CSS, and lots of smaller articles on topics from deploying with git to setting up Tailwind in a React app.

Here are some direct links to those, and feel free to browse the archives. I’ve been writing since 2015.

I write about strategy in (mostly Blizzard) games.

I think players who read HN might enjoy my blog. I have been somewhat disappointed with most of what I read on reddit or similar---I see a lot of what's out there as "the strategic equivalent of jQuery," if that makes sense, a lot of hacks that don't cohere well together.

I tend to appreciate the same things in strategy that I appreciate in code: simplicity, efficiency, cleanliness, conceptual clarity. Much of my blog is about "refactoring your thinking" to get closer to those ideals. Overall it has been immensely satisfying, and I've seen the same benefits you tend to see with well-refactored code---a sense of order and easy control. I can play Protoss in such a way as to "force" a vulnerability to DT's, I can take a micro tactic and tell you how (or whether) it changes things at scale, and I can pick a trope and "compile" it to strategy so that it will be effective in-game.

There's also a strong focus on Overwatch teamplay, drawing from system dynamics, control theory, and game theory.

It's awesome because it has hit the front page a few times so it resonates with this audience [1][2]. I write about front end development, engineering management, and programming (in general). It's also ultra-fast and can work offline, so I practice what I preach on the blog and was fully designed and developed by me.

I also write a weekly, hand-curated newsletter that is specifically targeted at different skill and experience levels:

Finally, and most ambitiously, I wrote a companion series to The Algorithm Design Manual to help me learn data structures and algorithms in JavaScript:

https://paulstamatiou.com/ Been running this site for about 15 years now and while I don't post often it's usually long-form detailed articles on a broad range of hardware/software/tech/design topics that take me a few months of spare time: Getting started with security keys (15k words) https://paulstamatiou.com/getting-started-with-security-keys... Building a Lightroom PC (30k words) https://paulstamatiou.com/buildi…

Truly Interesting Stuff there. Thanks for sharing it with the world.

I mostly post about stats or programming topics. I only really try to put something up if it's a particularly hot take on a useful topic, like

* a reduction from causal to statistical inference https://vladfeinberg.com/2019/12/01/metaphysics-of-causality...

* an exploration of what the best way to listen to experts is https://vladfeinberg.com/2020/01/05/stop-anytime-multiplicat...
