Professional title:
Software engineer
What do you do?
I explore puzzling questions and tell stories about them, and I write code along the way.
Why?
I want to produce something worthwhile. Before, I wanted to produce concrete things, like cool shiny projects with code, or cool shiny writing. Now I want to produce worthwhile experiences, experiences that entertain and inspire, through producing concrete things.
What should we read?
