    I recently saw a post from a connection on LinkedIn that said, “I read an article this morning suggesting LinkedIn is on a path to ‘enshittification’ (a new word for me), supposedly because of the increasing amount of non-work content here.” That’s not what enshittification means at all.

    Posted on February 14, 2025

    I finally fixed the Atom feed for my Jekyll blog. You should be able to access my feed here. Since the death of Google Reader in 2013, RSS and Atom feeds have fallen out of favor, though it remains the technology behind podcasting. It serves as a nice alternative to... [Read More]

     By Aaron Lord

    Posted on October 11, 2024
