Since I finished my portfolio, I'm thinking about work again. I'm tweaking site styles and drafting some posts in my spare time. I'm also mourning the end of summer.
If this is your first time visiting since the RSS feed broke in September, then welcome back! And sorry! Things should be fixed at /feed.xml.

ABOUT
Welcome to my website! I'm a software developer. I'm usually thinking about these themes from my personal canon:- crafting convenient, lean websites and webapps
- making computers easier for people
- honing my command-line workflow
- tightening feedback loops
- designing with empathy
- teaching effectively
- writing more (feed)
- helping others
- minimalism
- usability
- friction
Tired of hearing about software? Understandable. Take refuge in /notebook-love, /enjoyables, or some /nuggets. Everything else, unfortunately, is about computers. Sorry about that.
Here's a bit more about me: I look like this, sort of. I love soccer, tennis, basketball, ping pong, barefoot running, squatting, Brussels sprouts, math tutoring, teaching, black Ticonderogas, cats, Florida, and hammocks. I wish I read more books and doodled more doodles. I've already wasted too much life on screens. Don't make the same mistake -- remember to touch grass today! But not until you're finished looking around here. Consider listening to one of my favorite albums while you browse, too. That's always fun.
Toodles,
justin@wonger.dev
