https://jesseevers.com. If you're someone who finds many things interesting, I think you'll enjoy it...I have very broad interests, and that is reflected in my writing.

It's a young blog, but I've received pretty positive feedback on what I've written so far. For a recent post, try Instinctual Politics: https://jesseevers.com/instinctual-politics/

I have recently started https://muvaf.com to write about software culture as well as deep dives.

Right now, there are two articles. One is about exploring what keeps us, developers, excited and what kills it. The other one looks into how bugs should be handled and its relation to company culture.

The next one is about how to be nice but also apply candor during code reviews so that everyone wins. It’s on its way!

I write about logistics and supply chain topics at greenleaves.io. The first, loose article series about Vendor Managed Inventory and consignment stock is done. Lately, I'm not as fast in writing new stuff as I wished, so. Why is it awesome? Having a look at these things from a operational perspective is different from the pure theory. Also, why it obviously is a blog on my company website, sales leads and content ma…

https://commoncog.com/blog/ I write mostly about career moats. I wrote a post about the Metagame that was on HN's front page a few weeks ago. But the context in which that post exists is actually in the context of smart thinking in one's career. My hard rule with the blog is that I should (as much as possible) write only about things I can verify through practice. None of that 'it sounds insightful because it is nove…

Your blog is a true gem.

Wow, this makes for fantastic reading. The ideas you're floating on job security, career capital and moats articulate something I've seen through countless hours of LinkedIn scanning and personal experience, but packaged into digestible lessons. This is empiricism leading to radical thinking.

My only comment, in the form of a sticker warning, would be that thinking about the world purely via a lens of pragmatism (e.g. 'winner takes all', 'be mission agnostic', etc.) and performance (e.g. 'maximally optimise your career capital', etc.) can cause burnout. Or it did for me at least. This is because it can simultaneously build cynicism (cyclical negative thinking patterns) and impossible personal goals (confirming experiences of failure or struggle). The heuristic isn't worth that sacrifice, even if it leads you to the "right" answer.

I quit my software engineering job and spent two years driving from Alaska to Argentina through Latin America.

Then years later I quit again and drove three years right around Africa through 35 countries.

For anyone that wants to do something similar I also created wikioverland.org
