I decided to try to blog every day in November in a tribute to NaNoWriMo. One trick I learned from Art and Fear, was to try not to have ideas for a blog post, but instead, have ideas for a series of posts. So, in the beginning of the month, I started with a ten-part series covering my new dev stack.

It starts with: Changing my Dev Stack (2025), Part I: Simplify, Simplify, and continues on to discuss Linux, Django, HTMX, VSCode and Copilot, Bulma, Sqlite, uv, other tooling, and networking. I also documented how my setup and philosophy helps me be more resistant to supply chain attacks.

I wrote about how I interleave reading, what I am currently reading, and what’s in my antilibrary (books I own, but have yet to read).

The rest of the posts were drawn from my current work. I wrote more about HTMX. I wrote about how fuzzy logic inference might be a better fit than LLMs for my project.

I’m not sure that I will keep doing this in December, but I do think I will write more here.
