This page lists the articles I have written over the years. Like many developers, I love to write a tutorial to help people learn a new technology. I also enjoy a good essay about the philosophy of software development, and to muse about our industry in general. Unfortunately, we live in interesting times. We have much to discuss.

I recently read a paper called Notes on Postmodern Programming by James Noble and Robert Biddle. This is a striking title. Postmodern makes you think of English literature students clicking their fingers to slam poetry at smoky jazz clubs. Not dorky software developers. But the paper is in fact a real gem to read. It was written 20 years ago but its ideas still ring true today. So I thought it would be worth reflecting on postmodern programming with a, well, modern lens!
