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>…

Congratulations! I hope the change is what you need it to be.
