Hello, friends. I’m Josh Beckman. I make things - mostly software, mostly for others. This is where I keep years of writing, notes, and reading highlights, as a knowledge garden built in the open. I write about software craft, building, and whatever I’m learning. Read more about me, what I believe, or jump to navigation.
The season is: Start of Autumn ◆
Cooler winds, thick fogs
Today’s belief is: Pour your heart into what you do — People recognize care when they see it, and they love things that have been loved.
