Ordered sequences of entries, each exploring one Stoic practice applied to software.

• Memento Mori1 parts

  Everything you ship will be deleted. On legacy, rewrites, deprecation and the art of writing code you are ready to let go of.

• Premeditatio Malorum1 parts

  The Stoic exercise of rehearsing failure — as engineering practice, not anxiety: post-mortems, chaos engineering and productive pessimism.

• The Dichotomy of Control1 parts

  What actually depends on you in software work — and the peace of ignoring the rest. Roadmaps, layoffs and outages are not on the list; your craft, judgment and response are.
