The garden

rage.garden is a personal blog about software development, engineering leadership, and the organizational patterns that make both better or worse. It’s opinionated, occasionally absurd, and trying to be useful.

Not a tutorial site. Not a newsletter. Not career advice. Just someone thinking out loud about the work.

Why not Medium, Substack, Ghost, or whatever’s next

Because I’ve watched enough platforms pivot, paywire, get acquired, or simply decide that my content is now their content. Medium will change its model again. Substack has its own complications. Ghost is lovely until it isn’t. The pattern is consistent enough that the smart bet is to not repeat it.

A self-hosted static site is boring infrastructure I control. The writing belongs to me, lives at a domain I own, and will continue to work regardless of what any platform decides to do next. No algorithm, no engagement optimization, no terms of service update that redefines ownership in paragraph fourteen.
