Building in the open

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: The only thing you can truly control is your own brain — Focus energy where you have agency. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
