<p>For the last decade, my job has been leading robotics teams, and code was something I reviewed far more often than I wrote.

<p>There's a distinction in programming robots that doesn't show up in most other kinds of code, and it's one I learned early on, back when I first started writing software that actuates in the physical world.

<p>I had a Reddit problem.

<p>Twenty years ago, in college, I learned about UML and its promise of well organized information and software architectures.

<p>Two decades ago, when I was a teenager soldering my way through hobby projects, I kept Alan Parekh's <a href="http://www.alan-parekh.com/led_resistor_calculator.html">LED resistor calculator</a> bookmarked.

<p>I host this blog on GitLab Pages; I've been a GitLab user since before GitHub had Actions.
