About
Hi! I'm Alan Gardner (Alan Key). I write software for a living and, occasionally, for fun. This site is where I put the writing that's longer than a tweet and shorter than a book.
I am most interested in:
- Systems that are easy to reason about, even when they're large.
- The craft of making software that respects the people who use it.
- The moments when a tool finally clicks, and what made the difference.
If you'd like to read posts as they appear, the feed is plain Atom.
