Critical Infrastructure Is Maintained by People You Have Never Heard Of
The invisible work behind infrastructure security is maintenance, not a spectacle.
My technical writing
Technical articles, research notes and public reasoning worth keeping: implementation notes, policy arguments, disclosure write-ups and engineering judgement that can be revisited later.
How I calculate read time
Read time starts with a base speed by writing type then is adjusted for headings, text breaks, code blocks, tables and images.
Notes use 230 WPM, articles use 210 WPM and research or PoC work uses 190 WPM as their base speed. The final estimate is rounded up to the next minute.
