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.

Today’s belief is: Some lessons aren’t worth learning — Choose empowering beliefs over limiting ones, even if those limits are sometimes true.
