BUT. Honestly is where I do my real thinking in public — long-form essays on where people and technology actually meet. The tagline is “clarity without the comfort,” and that’s the whole brief: no buzzwords, no forced optimism, none of the clickbait-productivity genre. Just writing that tries to help you see a problem more sharply than you did before, even when the honest answer is the uncomfortable one.
It moves across whatever I’m actually chewing on — leadership and how teams really work, the craft side of programming (how to choose a software license, that sort of thing), and a lot of clear-eyed writing about AI: what it’s genuinely good for and where the hype falls apart (“AI is not an oracle” is a recurring note). It gets personal, too — I write openly about blogging with ADHD and the systems that let me keep going without burning out.
There’s no posting schedule and no growth-hacking. Pieces go out when they’re actually done, and a short newsletter — I try to publish between one to four posts a month — lets people read them without an algorithm in the middle. It runs on WordPress.com so I can just write, with a reading experience built to get out of the way: big type, room to breathe, and nothing between you and the words.
