Hello, 2025

My new year's resolution is to journal more; more ink on paper. I think manually writing stuff down that nobody else will see helps me process my thoughts. I also want to blog more, to combat the rise of auto-generated sludge online.

What's going on at work? I've discovered there's a snooze button in Outlook, and I'm trying out a new IDE called Nova - which happens to be made by my favourite video game publishing company Panic, whose output includes Thank Goodness You're Here!, Untitled Goose Game, and the Playdate handheld console.

I'm also thinking about, as developers, how we teach architecture. It's very easy to write a blog post about what the latest web platform feature is or the coolest new library. And it's easy to download an MVC framework or install it as a dependency.

But you can't just download "architecture", and I think that makes it less enticing to teach about too - there are no quick results.

So watch this space, maybe this year I'll write something about the why's and how's of software.
