What’s top of mind

I’ve been thinking a lot about how to structure my own knowledge. Too often do I lose track of thought, so I’ve been note-taking in a more structured way, and publishing some of it on my web site. I’m continuously experimenting with how to organize my writing (see The format of a note).

At work, I’ve been thinking about the UX of developer tooling. This term has made people chuckle, likely because they sadly don’t think that UX matters for developer tools. I’ve also been thinking about continuous delivery (CD) for desktop apps: Jez Humble’s book Continuous Delivery is good, but does not take into account desktop apps (user-installable apps).

I have a continuous interest in build systems. I’ve not written down much about build systems yet, but here’s a start: Build processes should only generate new files.
