What Hacker News says?

  1. I have a couple blogs, and a couple wikis, all written by me. But, for starters, https://junglecoder.com Why is it awesome? Because I write about things that I find _very_ interesting. Highlights include an article on Factor, a retrospective on 8 years of side-projects, and a poem about trying to debug code late at night.

  7. I host my own blog ( http://junglecoder.com ) on a VPS at the moment. But I went rather overboard with it, as I built my own CMS-lite in go. I was in college, wanted to learn how the web worked at a decently low level (lower than wordpress or rails).
