Writing
Thinking out
loud, where
you can read it.
Cully writes at Smoke Some Paint. It is a personal publication, not an engineering journal — recent posts are about getting into 3D printing and turning generated brand marks into production SVGs as much as they are about systems and durable execution. It is where the thinking happens out loud, before it is tidy.
It is on this site for the same reason the failures are: it is the part of the record that is written before anyone knows how it turns out.
