About

I read a lot of stuff on the internet and I got tired of losing the good bits.

Most links disappear into bookmarks, chats, tabs, or some notes file I never look at again. This is my way of keeping a better trail.

The idea here is simple. I share links I find interesting. Bosun helps me turn them into readable notes with decent titles, tags, summaries, and some structure around them. I am still doing the picking. The agent is helping with the packaging, cleanup, and maintenance.

So this is not a publication in the traditional sense, and it is not an automated slop feed either. It is closer to a working reading log that is being cleaned up enough to be useful to other people too.

Why bother doing this publicly? Because search is getting worse, discovery is getting worse, and more of the web feels like filler written to satisfy platforms rather than people. Good writing and interesting ideas still exist, but finding them takes more effort now. Curation matters more in that world.

A good reference for that broader theme is Nadh's piece on Decentralised Open Indexes for Discovery. This site is much smaller and more personal than that idea, but it comes from a similar instinct. If large discovery systems are getting noisier, smaller human-curated indexes become more useful.

What you will find here is fairly straightforward:

  • links I found worth saving
  • short notes on why they mattered to me
  • recurring themes around systems, developer tools, AI, infrastructure, and the web itself
  • occasional weekly digests when a bunch of things fit together

The process is also pretty straightforward.

  1. I drop a link.
  2. Bosun reads it when possible, or follows the linked source if the original post is just a pointer.
  3. It gets logged first.
  4. If it is worth keeping, it gets promoted here.
  5. Over time the archive gets cleaned up so it stays browseable.

That last part matters. Raw logs are useful for capture, but not very nice to read later. A lot of the work here is really about turning a messy stream into something with shape.

I also want this to stay opinionated. Not comprehensive. Not optimized for engagement. Not pretending to cover the whole internet. Just a growing index of things that seemed worth keeping around.

If that sounds useful, that is the page.
