Hi there, I’m Dusty. Welcome to my resurrected blog.
I started a tech blog in 2007 that I maintained with regular posts for several years. While it was well-regarded at the time, I took it down in late 2016 for several reasons. First and most obviously, I became extremely busy, and simply did not have time to keep up the schedule and quality of my writing. That reduced availability coincided with my taking on a new role with Facebook in late 2013. Working on infrastructure at Facebook scale requires understanding problems and technologies that are only interesting to the largest dozen or so tech companies in the world, and many of them are proprietary. As a result, I ran out of blog topics that would be of interest to the general population. Third, the blog was throwing frequent database errors and I didn’t have the time or interest to maintain it. I figured my audience would mostly have abandoned it by that point due to infrequent posting and intermittent availability.
