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: White Dew ◆
Dew drops on grass
Today’s belief is: Ask for help with gratitude — We have the power to help each other; be in collaboration with the world.
