Hey friend! Thanks for the feedback on the Lay Off Field Guide - I hope you don't need it, but I'm glad it's useful. Stuff I've WrittenHow to Win at Work Every Day. I explain why you need an internal scorecard, and share a ten minute...
Yes, you read that title correctly. English Civil War Lego.The good people at the Cromwell Museum have teamed up with United Bricks to create a small range of Civil War figures.As it was the Cromwell Museum who initiated the project, it...
As I said yesterday, I am way ahead on practicing for this month, which is great because at 12:30 last night we had a family emergency. Everybody’s fine, but it’s the next day at 3:45 in the afternoon, and I’m just done. There’s no way...
I usually like constraints. They challenge me to do more with less. But that doesn’t mean we always get along.
ARC-1 1.0 is here. When I published the first ARC-1 post, I explained why I built an MCP server for ABAP development and why security has to be part of it from the beginning. This post is not another deep dive into every tool. The...
The folks at the observability platform Victoria Metrics have put together a Go 1.27 interactive tour that shows what’s in the new version! This isn’t directly related to OpenZiti (which is created by NetFoundry, where I work), but it is...

Brother, I’ve made a lot of macaroni. Yes, for a four-year period back in college I became a regular kitchen whiz at cracking open that flimsy cardboard box of thin, rock-hard noodles, boiling them up to a perfect al dente, and stirring...
It's always an amazing feeling to hold in my hand the final product after months or years of work. The Pilgrim Poker project went pretty smoothly. I planned to have it launched during the Asian Board Games Festival in Penang. All the art...
I’m always on the hunt for new music and never use music-rental programs like Spotify/Qobuz, which means I spend most of my time surfing Bandcamp. Lately, I’ve noticed a huge increase in band pages that don’t actually sell music....

On Monday morning I woke up to find a trench in my front yard and a truck parked outside proclaiming itself to contain 'luxury lighting'. I didn't know outdoor lighting came in luxury. I very easily could have hired common lighting by...
