I’ve been posting on this site since 2016, when the company I worked for went through a large round of layoffs. I was worried about being laid off, so I started looking at what I needed to do to build my resume. A personal blog and side projects were at the top of the list, so off I went. This site is built on [[ markata ]]. You can read more about that in the /colophon.

2023 was a very busy year, and I started slowing down. About halfway through the year, I felt like I had a lot I wanted to get out, but not enough time to turn every idea into a full blog post. I added [[ thoughts ]] on 7/22/2023, starting with this

I have several feeds that you can consume my content with. Many posts will cross between them, so if you would like to follow a certain stream of content in your rss reader thats what this is for. This one might feel like it has some extra noise with multiple posts per day, including starts, and instagram style posts, for a bit less look at the [[ main ]] feed.

This is a feed of everything that I have published on my site to date including Posts tagged: blog, [[ til ]], [[ thoughts ]], [[ stars ]], Posts tagged: shots, [[ pings ]].

👋 Hi, I am Waylon Walker. Husband, Father of two, and creator things on the web, learning, and teaching others. I play lots of Minecraft, make art, and skate everyday with my kids. I finish the day binging episodes of Big Bang Theory with my wife.

I believe in a decentralized platform where everyone has their own space on this internet to share their thoughts and ideas. I created my blogging platform from scratch to learn about building tools with pluggy and diskcache. I was frustrated with long build times, black holes of node modules, bloated pages, and a lack of built in SEO tools.

I am a Senior Software Engineer specializing in building data pipelines and web platforms with python.
