Hi, I'm Brandur.
I like databases, the independent web, and fast interfaces. I write in full sentences on Slack and use emoticons instead emoji. I think the modern web took a wrong turn on its evolutionary path and that we should resurrect ideas from the earlier days of computing — less centralization, software that's harder to learn but more powerful, and wider technical literacy.
My personal website is here and I'm on Twitter at @brandur.
I'm a sometimes writer. Most frequently by publishing a newsletter called Nanoglyph (which you should sign up for :). Here are its latest issues:
- ⓝ 032 — Hook Toil February 26, 2022
- ⓝ 031 — Docs! Docs! Docs! February 7, 2022
- ⓝ 030 — No Docker; Onionskin Stacks December 31, 2021
I put other stream of consciousness thoughts into tiny blog posts called fragments:
🐚 Filtering Sentry spans no one looks at February 17, 2022🐚 Single dependency stacks February 8, 2022🐚 A retina asset shortcode for Hugo February 4, 2022
Once in a while, I write longer form articles:
