For anyone visiting for the first time: this post explains what this blog is about, who it is for, and how to follow along.
The context
I have lost too many useful notes to Slack threads, personal notebooks, and half-written Google Docs that nobody ever reads.
Some of those notes were worth sharing. Someone, somewhere, might have needed the exact thing I had just figured out. But instead, they lived quietly and disappeared just as quietly.
Things Worth Sharing is where those notes get a stable home.
What I write about
Some posts will be short. Some will be long. The length depends on what the idea actually needs.
The blog focuses on four broad themes:
- Technology — cloud infrastructure, security, developer platforms, and the occasional bug retrospective.
- Learning — things that surprised me, things I got wrong, and the sources I wish I had read earlier.
- Work — how to run teams, make trade-offs, and ship software that other people depend on.
- Life — the occasional piece that does not fit neatly into the categories above but still feels worth sharing.
What I do not write about
This blog is not for:
- Thought leadership — vague opinions without evidence or practical context.
- Listicles — “10 things you need to know” is often just SEO filler.
- Tech news roundups — plenty of people already do that better.
If I do not have anything specific to say in a given week, I will not post just to fill the calendar.
Who writes here
I write this blog solo — no co-authors, no contributors. You can check the author page for more about me.

The first posts are being written. Hopefully, one of them will be worth your time.
