Why should you read it? Several reasons. The first is that this is where I write things that I'm passionate about! If you have ever been interested in ham radio, electronics or just in general geekiest saying there's a good chance that I've written about it. I document my projects well and don't assume knowledge when I explain things. I also own my failures and explain them in full. Lastly, I make a point to smash through the myths, mysteries and flat out misinformation regarding whatever I'm writing about. I show how normal people can do whatever they set their minds to!

https://dpbriggs.ca/blog I mostly write about Rust.

So mainly oxidized metal?

That's correct.

Most people have a narrow concept of Rust and confuse it with iron oxide, when reality is so much more vibrant. Copper oxides are my personal favourite.

I write for one of the main segments of the HN audience: The INTJ personality type.

If you...

- Tend to focus on contingency planning and anticipating future moves / events

- See yourself as a strategist

- Have something of a critic's mindset

- Tend to Google for, save, or bookmark the next knowledge nugget, software package, or life hack

- Benefit from studying anti-patterns, sometimes more than studying patterns

- Are open to learning and experimental flexibility in the name of discovering a world of new hacks and perspectives...

...Then it might be worth your time. I'm on a bit of a blog break due to COVID-19 efforts at work but it's been pretty consistently active for years now.
