The journey begins
At the beginning of my journey here, I thought I’d offer some words to explain what I hope to accomplish through my writing and what you can expect from me.
In my younger years, I was quite opinionated, and I didn’t hesitate to share those opinions with anyone who seemed even slightly interested. However, I’ve lost that trait in the last number of years, as school and life intervened. Developing reasoned arguments is a skill that requires practice to maintain, and I’ve gotten rather rusty. In addition, I feel like I’ve reached the point where I have something to contribute to conversations on a variety of topics, particularly the field in which I’ve trained and to which I have chosen to devote my time and energy.
That field is computer software, and it’s one that I’m familiar with and passionate about. However, that passion isn’t always for the technical details, important though they may be. Rather, I’m concerned about the big picture, about ideas. And sometimes, I’m interested in non-technical things as well. I like to examine the systems and structures that touch my life, whatever their nature, and I’ll write about them here when I feel inspired.
I hope you’ll join me along the way!
