Most of my older posts are dumb and I will probably remove them from the site.
I have one article in particular that people seemed to like:
https://afnan.io/posts/introducing-oars/
It's about my experiences writing a Rust library to generate and verity orthogonal arrays, that I used as part of a graphics paper that got published at EGSR.
Read it if you're interested in Python, JavaScript, web application security, web application architecture (scaling etc), weird little museums, other random projects I'm working on.
You probably _shouldn't_ read my blog.
It's small, has low traffic, and I am the primary beneficiary of my writing. That said, I've been writing regularly for eight years now, and it's an _awesome_ progress-tracking tool for me.
It's seen me through a few career changes (most recently into software development) and I use it all the time to share ideas with people. If I share an idea with people 3x, I'll write a blog post and share the link next time.
If you're new to software development, you should follow my blog.
If you're wanting to _get into_ software development, you should start here: https://josh.works/turing-backend-prep-01-intro
I've got a bunch of stuff coming soon about leveling up your skills as person who just got into your first ruby/rails development job, and feels like they're not learning things very quickly.
So, if that's your cup of tea, please follow!
I like to write deep, long posts when I can. I hope to be relatively thoughtful when I approach search topics, and honesty have a hard time not getting into the nooks and crannies of every topic to get a holistic POV
I write about Artificial Intelligence, Turing tests, language processing, and a bit of robotics, for a layperson audience.
You should read it if:
- you enjoy critical commentary on popular AI news and practices,
- want to know AI myths from reality, or
- want to see a participant's view on Turing tests.
I try to find important issues and simplify them to one good number. E.g., America's healthcare system costs us $4,000 more per person that other developed countries and we live 4 years shorter on average. (Okay, in that case, it was 2 numbers.)
Basically, I had a hard time pulling the important stuff out of politics. I started my own blog to help me ... and others too.

Tag cloud telling you what it's about here: https://simonwillison.net/tags/ Read it if you're interested in Python, JavaScript, web application security, web application architecture (scaling etc), weird little museums, other random projects I'm working on.
