    Every weekend, I’ve been slowly moving to San Jose, so I haven’t been able to spend enough time with my hobbies and side projects. This website has seen a down tick in content, and I’m looking forward to writing more in the near future. Certainly post-move.

    To spend the in-between time not thinking about code, I’ve been playing Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. We recently finished Cult of the Lamb, and it felt pretty special.

    I went to the Figma conference last week at San Francisco Moscone Center, and it was a packed event. I’m excited to dive deep into more UX work.

  • Writing for Software Developers
    Posted
    Author: Jeremy Wong
    "Writing for Software Developers focuses on teaching you how to envision, create, and publish mid-length technical tutorials and articles, but the principles and practices you’ll develop will help you write anything from a short README to an entire technical book. And regardless of why you write, this guide aims to provide you with the techniques you will need to reach your goals."

    Finishing up the book, Laws of UX. It’s a great primer on the topic and I’m looking forward to sharing it with my team. Also reading β€œSaving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock” by Jenny O’Dell.

    Slowly moving to San Jose, California. The apartment has been finalized, and we have two months to move in. Also, planning my wedding for May 2024.

    Deployed and continually making improvements to this website. I’m using Astro.js and re-learning Svelte along the way.

    I’m nearly done with playing through Hogwarts Legacy.

Newsletter Series

I have put back together my newsletter after years of absense! These are primarily updates on my blog, "Craft By Zen", and maybe some highlights to the new articles I've written. There might be some life updates as well. I'm doing away with the old format of weekly longform essays, and trying some new things with my newsletter.
