Hello World

This is the first post on deathfireofdoom. A place to write about software, systems, and the strange things that happen when you push code to production at 2 AM.

What to expect

Mostly technical writing. Some topics I plan to cover:

  • Distributed systems and their failure modes
  • Programming languages and tooling
  • Infrastructure, deployment, and operations
  • Debugging war stories

Why a blog?

Writing forces you to think clearly. If you can’t explain something in a paragraph, you probably don’t understand it well enough. This blog is partly a notebook for myself, partly a way to share what I’ve learned.

def hello():
    print("deathfireofdoom")

hello()

More to come.
