Building in Public
So this is my new site. I haven’t made a personal site in years. I always get stuck. I’m going to get stuck again, but two things are rattling around in my head. First, in my hubris, I think I have interesting things to say and need a place to put them. So they’re going here. The second is Gall’s Law. I discovered this one on my time working on the AstroUX Design System. Gall’s Law states:
A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved tome a simple system that worked. A complex syste designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.While I have complex ideas for this site, I can’t start there. So I’m starting as simple as possible – just like the very first web page I ever wrote back in … I don’t know 1993, maybe ’94; back before CSS and JavaScript1 were even concepts; back before I even had a PPP internet connection required for using a GUI browser like Mosaic; back before there were even mobile devices capable of displaying web pages – let alone responsive design, this sucker is going to be one HTML page rendered in whatever default state your browser is going to show it in.2.
That’s it. That’s the site.
For now.
