I'm taking a break

Computer Things will return in January!

Hi everyone,

I've been getting burnt out on writing a weekly software essay. It's gone from taking me an afternoon to write a post to taking two or three days, and that's made it really difficult to get other writing done. That, plus some short-term work and life priorities, means now feels like a good time for a break.

So I'm taking off from Computer Things for the rest of the year. There might be some announcements and/or one or two short newsletters in the meantime but I won't be attempting a weekly cadence until 2026.

Thanks again for reading!
