OneThingWell.dev | Small and simple is beautiful
Modern software development is beyond broken. Popular practices of resume-driven development, cargo-cult programming, and piling layers upon layers of failed abstractions are only making matters worse.
OneThingWell.dev is a digital garden (a custom wiki/blog combination) on these and various other software development issues. Simplicity is a prerequisite for reliability.
Relaxed radix balanced trees
Simplicity is hard to build, easy to use, and hard to charge for. Complexity is easy to build, hard to use, and easy to charge for.

Cold-blooded software
If you give someone a program, you will frustrate them for a day; if you teach them how to program, you will frustrate them for a lifetime.
