What grows in the philosophy bed

Questions I keep turning over, written out properly enough that I can find the flaw in them.

I am not a philosopher and these are not papers. They are the long-form version of an argument I have been having with myself — mostly about work, about what technology is actually for, and about what a good life looks like from inside an engineering career.

Writing an argument down is the fastest way to discover that it does not hold. Some notes here will end with me less certain than I started, which I have decided to treat as the point rather than a failure.

Expect this bed to move slowly. An essay that makes it to evergreen has survived me disagreeing with it at least twice.
