Blog

The blog contains . . . everything. Quick references, miscellaneous tutorials, conference notes, and so on. It's a blog as brain with a tech focus. For many of the posts, I am the primary intended audience: the blog is there so I can quickly look up things I need. Others are more tutorial-like, or designed to answer quick questions. The writing style is generally informal, and closer to natural language than I'd use in documentation. I don't reliably maintain and update the content in this section.

timebox.so teardown

This post is a teardown of timebox.so, a todo list app that I recently spotted on Reddit.

I'm doing the teardown because there was a lot that impressed me in the product presentation, and I want to capture my takeaways. This is a learning exercise and set of notes for me to look back on if I ever launch a product - and hopefully a helpful real-life example for you!

Set up minikube on Windows

In my work as n8n's tech writer, I need to maintain some Kubernetes-based deployment guides. This blog post contains the steps for setting up minikube and kubectl on Windows, running it, and testing n8n's Kuberenetes hosting configurations. This is a letter to my future self. Some steps are n8n-specific, but this can also serve as a quick guide for any Kubernetes testing.
