This is just a quick note to tell you that this blog does not track you at all. There are no cookies no counters analytics attached to this webpage or to any other on this website.

I used to have this. I used to track every access to all of my posts on this blog. And sometimes often it was frustrating to see that some posts didn’t get the attention I thought they deserved — take that, hubris.

I used to write in order to reach an audience or increase my visibility on the internet for professional purposes or gain recognition in the Ruby community.

Now I don’t care.

I just write because I enjoy it. These posts are merely my thoughts, laid out in words. And…​ I don’t track my thoughts. I don’t copyright them or monetize them. Why would I do it here? This is my personal tech journal that just happens to be publicly available.

You may read this blog. You may not. You may subscribe to my RSS feed or follow me on social media. You may like what you read, some, or none of it. You may find my thoughts bland or outrageous. But you may not change them. I will not adapt to an audience based on what "works".

That’s also why there are no comments here either.

If you really want to start a conversation and interact with me, you can find me on Mastodon or Bluesky (or even LinkedIn — why not).

And you know what? Writing this way is freeing. I have absolutely no pressure, except for my own desire to write and make it a sane habit.

I obviously hope people enjoy reading this. But I firmly believe that my posts will be all the more interesting if I am not writing for anyone, except for myself.
