Two updates:

(1) I'm leaving the tech industry. Hopefully "for good"; at the very least, "for now"

(2) If you subscribe to my blog, the content's gonna change; I'm dropping the editorial focus I've had since 2020 and going back to writing about whatever the heck I want. Some of the same stuff, some new stuff, we'll see.

Changing Directions - Jacob Kaplan-Moss

<p>I have two important announcements:</p> <ol> <li> <p>I’m leaving the tech industry. Hopefully “for good”; if not, at least “for now”.</p> </li> <li> <p>As such, the content on this blog is going to shift, perhaps dramatically. I’m going to be writing about a broader range of topics that interest me (projects around my hobby farm, wilderness trips, emergency medicine) – more writing for <em>me</em>, less writing for some imagined audience. (I’ll probably still end up writing about some of the same topics as I’ve been covering since 2020, just less often.)</p> </li> </ol> <p>I’m writing this post mostly to give myself permission to make that change, and to give readers the opportunity to unsubscribe/unfollow if they’re not interested.</p> <p>If you’re interested in more details about why I’m leaving the industry and what’s next for me and this blog, read on.</p>…

@jacob I 100% understand your decision and it’s one that’s rumbling through my head as well. Thank you for everything you’ve contributed along the years, and wish you the absolute best in this new endeavor.
