Notes

Short public notes on technology topics — smaller than a blog post, bigger than a tweet. Inspired by Martin Fowler.

Notes as a knowledge graph

Every note here carries two kinds of edges: tags, and explicit related links to other notes. Each note page shows its outgoing links and the backlinks pointing at it, and the whole structure is exposed as machine-readable data at /notes/graph.json.

The bet is that if I keep the linking habit up, the notes stop being a chronological pile and start being a map — clusters around the topics I keep returning to, and visible gaps where I think I understand something but have never written it down. At some point I want to render the graph visually, right here on the site.

Starting notes

Full blog posts take me weeks — they need a thesis, structure, and enough real-world evidence to be worth your time. But most of what I learn day to day is smaller than that: a pattern that worked, a tool that surprised me, a sentence from a paper worth keeping.

This section is for those. The format is borrowed from Martin Fowler’s fragments: short, dated, tagged notes published as I write them. No cadence promises, no polish guarantees. If a note grows up, it becomes a blog post.
