After I signed my contract to join my new job a month ago, I was so excited. Not only that I would join the company but also because I got to buy a new notebook. The weekend before my first day I headed to the local bookstore and spent a good amount of time browsing through the notebooks available and ended up with this happy orange one. Why am I so excited about a notebook then? Because it’s the most important tool I have as a software developer. When it comes to building software or solving

May 2025 There are two senses in which writing can be good: it can sound good, and the ideas can be right. It can have nice, flowing sentences, and it can draw correct conclusions about important things. It might seem as if these two kinds of good would be unrelated, like the speed of a car and the color it's painted. And yet I don't think they are. I think writing that sounds good is more likely to be right. So here we have the most exciting kind of idea: one that seems both prepo

When people ask what I do for a living, I’m faced with two choices: either I can lie or I can bore them with the truth, which is too complicated to explain succinctly. While those around me have normal, definable jobs—accountant, journalist, engineer—my work requires headings and subheadings to get it across properly: a map of overlapping gigs and contracts. “What do you do?” It’s a simple question that often gets asked on first dates. No matter how much I pare down my reply, it’s always long w

reMarkable Paper Pro The reMarkable Paper Pro is a premium, distraction-free, large writing tablet that mimics the feel of pen on paper. It's expensive, and even more so if paired with excellent accessories like the Type Folio, but if focused, analog-style creativity with a splash of color is what you’re after, then the Paper Pro is the E-Ink tablet to buy. Despite my love of tech, I’m an old-fashioned pen-and-paper person at heart. I handwrite everything from outlines and grocery lists to “lov

I’ve been working in games for a little more than 15 years, and the main thing I’d say about it at this point is that it’s a pretty annoying job to explain at parties. People often say something like, “Oh, I don’t really play games,” which is surely an odd thing to tell a game designer moments after you’ve been introduced; I don’t really eat croissants, but that’s not the first thing I bring up if I meet a patissier. So one of the joys of publishing my first novel last year was the option to si

Sometimes, for some people, a piece of writing’s attribution alone suffices to taint or burnish it. The attribution might be to this or that individual writer, or to one or another kind of writer. Those who take a piece of writing to be tainted in this way need no acquaintance with what it contains to support their judgement; attribution suffices. It wasn’t, for example, uncommon in nineteenth-century England for female writers to publish under male pseudonyms. The Brontë sisters each did that

While keyboards dominate modern classrooms, a new study in Frontiers in Psychology suggests handwriting may be irreplaceable when it comes to learning. Researchers found that writing by hand activates far more extensive and interconnected brain networks compared to typing, particularly in regions linked to memory and sensory processing. These findings provide new evidence that handwriting engages the brain in unique ways, raising concerns about the growing reliance on digital tools for education

The Russian novelist Ivan Goncharov once said of writers, “And to write and write, like a wheel or a machine, tomorrow, the day after, on holidays; summer will come—and he must still be writing. When is he to stop and rest? Unfortunate man?” Goncharov was born in 1812 and died in 1891, so I am clearly not the model for the writer he was talking about—even though, my prolificacy having often been commented upon, I could otherwise well be.
