====== why wiki? ======

I used to do a blog. In September 2023, I realized that the blog format was preventing me from writing more, because I felt like every blog post had to be finished before publication. I also kept wanting to go back and update old posts because things were changing, but blog posts are dated and aren't meant to be living documents like that. Another problem is that without a page history, if you change something then readers can't get back to the old version without resorting to internet archive or finding the git repo for the site. Wikis have page histories, and every page is a living document, so wiki is better for me.

All my blog post URLs are still alive, since I don't want that content to be lost, and I don't know who has linked to them. But probably I foresee no more blog posts.

If you got here from a link in one of my blog posts, and are looking for the corresponding wiki page, here is a list of pages which were spawned from blog posts:
