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: Frosting ◆
First frosts, maple leaves turn yellow
Today’s belief is: Do it right, or you’ll need to do it over — Debt and investment compound faster than you think. Half measures are as bad as nothing at all.
