Fierce Focus, Fearless Development

Below are some of the blog posts I wrote. Enjoy!

Application Vulnerabilities and Tools To Address Them

These were some notes that I took of February of this year about various cyber-security threats to applications that as a developer one should know about. I’m glad I’ve taken the opportunity to review and edit this; Andress’s book was an excellent introduction to this subject area.

How I Made This Blog

I am happy to announce that I finally got around to making a technical blog! Regardless of the utilitarian benefits we get from recording what we learn (e.g. Zettelkasten, Second Brain, etc.), to create is such a supremely human experience and avoiding it has made my fingers quake with anticipation. Another aspect is that I’m an extremely curious person with an embarrassingly wide range of interests and while Obsidian has certainly filled some of this void, creating a public blog provides a way to share things I’ve learned with others–which is guaranteed only to be read by people who care about the subject matter!

Making Sure YOU Own Your Blog

As a privacy-conscious person who is also all for intellectual property rights, I want to say, first of all, that this blog is entirely human-generated. I may use AI to help me learn about new topics, but the words are all mine. I want to share with you how to make sure that AI will not train on your intellectual property–your blog. While I can’t guarantee anything, at least it can help reduce the chances and help you make a case about your ownership.
