Well,

that website was getting stale. I never had a taste for blogging. I’m a micro-blogger and I issue hot takes on stuff mostly on Twitter, sometimes Facebook. My long conversations take place on Discord rather than IRC nowadays, and conversations are where I spend most time actually.

Writing solo on a blank page isn’t really my thing, not without a purpose.

So,

I decided to wipe that website a little and refresh it. My recent departure from my now recently ex-employer, a logistics company, is the occasion to do a few things about my only presence:

1. clean-up my resume and make something nice. See the results here. I worked with a great coach, Silvy, to improve it (work in progress still, now I’ll be improving it whenever I get the occasion)
2. make my LinkedIn presentation coherent with that resume. I used to basically not maintain it and it had become sedimented. The new version is much cleaner.
3. try and explain my job much better. We’re not there yet, but I’ve planned to take time to do it. I’m great at what I do but it’s neither pure engineering nor pure social stuff, it sits in-between as I “hack” tech organizations to try to make them better by focusing my efforts on developers. That’s, like, super impactful, but I need to state that clearly.

Next,

I plan to take notes about my various projects as well. ADHD doesn’t help, lack of companionship in these doesn’t help because I work better in a team, but I’ll use this website to share project notes in the hope it helps me focus and gives me positive feedback.

I won’t open it to comments or whatever, but you can always reach out on social media.

Looking forward to (trying to keep up) keeping up :)

M.
