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

Started this up about six months ago. I write about general topics, mostly software engineering and infosec. Kind of serves as a live journal as well (which probably doesn't help job prospects much).

Low traffic, seem to only get traffic from the monthly hiring threads here on HN and occasionally twitter. It's fun for me, though. Helps document ideas and helps a couple junior dev friends I mentor grasp concepts that otherwise take a while to wrap one's mind around. Might be of interest to other software devs looking into pivoting to appsec or security engineering as I'm documenting my journey towards the OSCP later this year.

I've been documenting aggressive brand protection practices by various companies, and also general e-commerce commentary. Only have two posts so far but intend to continue along similar lines when I have more time. I've got a post planned explaining how one of the top 5 Amazon seller's primary business model is getting rid of other sellers and raising consumer prices. This kind of behavior is shockingly common across the industry.

Disclaimer: I do have an agenda and have been involved in some of the cases mentioned. I've also done extensive research, reading through hundreds of court cases, talking to many of the people involved in those cases, and am getting ready to publish further exposes. I'm not unbiased, but I am well researched. I did the research originally for my own legal case and felt it was interesting and important enough to start sharing.

Blogging out of Nairobi on software development and in particular C#, F#, Powershell and databases. One of the best ways to learn something well is to write about it.
