About

🌿 [bud]

This is yet another variation of a blog by me, Clinton. I am a software engineer working and living in Bath, UK. The goal (this time) is to be somewhere between a blog and a zettelkasten where I’ll ramble, write some articles, but also share short facts, notes, and resources.

The content here is written by me (by which I mean, not AI.) I may use AI to help to plan articles but words will be my own. In fact, as an act of transparency, I’ll add Claude (or whatever) as a co-author and expressly note the input if I do use AI for anything anywhere.
