Ask HN: What is your blog and why should I read it?

This is my personal blog where I pen down my thoughts on Containers, DNS, bits of Devops etc. I've been a self learner since the time I started programming and I feel penning down thoughts and reaching to a wider audience makes me learn those concepts even better.

If you enjoy understanding concepts using an ELI5 approach, consider checking out my blog :)

Honestly I don't have much worth reading on my blog. But I see a lot of posts about the "best way to store knowledge" - org-mode, roam, zettelkasten, markdown etc.

My blog isn't worth reading because that's exactly what I use it for. If you're looking for a way to [1] take notes, [2] keep track of links you enjoyed reading, or [3] save links to things you want to learn about in the future, then I recommend doing it in your blog.

At the end of your life you'll be able to look back at your own personal wikipedia of knowledge.

Posts (maybe) worth reading:

* Design tips for developers: https://paul.copplest.one/blog/design.html (was fairly controversial when I posted it previously)

* My previous company's tech stack: https://paul.copplest.one/blog/nimbus-tech-2019-04.html#tech...

Also a currently-unmaintained site: https://mentalmodels.co

It has a few good pieces about transitioning from corporate dev to freelance/consulting, as well as Clojure.

I’ve heard other people have read it to learn more about Clojure, and to help guide them away from corporate dread. Importantly, I have my contact information there and in my HN bio and I’m always down to talk to people from the internet!

It lacks the 10,000 word, fun war stories from more veteran engineers, sadly.

You probably should not read it. I don't have a topic but write all over the place from software engineering to fan fiction. The good articles were on the HN frontpage. That should suffice for most here.

By reading this you can quickly consume useful / actionable information that takes many hours of scanning newspapers, magazines etc each day to source and compile.

At present this covers the following subjects: business, personal / professional development, wellbeing, science & technology, and behavioural science.
