Tag: Overview

Some topics are too broad and complex to dept in a single article. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to talk about them, so here are some high-level thoughts about a specific topic. They can generate multiple articles or not, but I want to convey the main idea, concept, or anything that’s happening. I call it an overview because it’s just that. Topics are not “on brand” with this blog. I will do my best to make it exciting and make it relatable to you but always keeping an overview mindset not to make it to dense.
There’s no schedule for these posts. I’ll post them as soon as I find topics that interest me but consider them sparse. There are other areas I want to invest in, and I think they will be more useful to you.
Finally, interaction is vital, as always, so send your feedback via email, Twitter, or leave a comment to let me know what I’m doing right or wrong.
