Observations. Not necessarily solutions.
Musings
From 2016 to 2019, I ran a blog on the website that was home to the previous iteration of my business. Often those articles took many hours to write and post. I have now decided to share them on this blog.
I have a back catalogue of 3 years of blog posts, where I often published 3 or 4 articles a month. I am working on adding my archive to this page, which could take me a little while. This is a work in progress.
