Hi, I’m Chase Bussey. I’m a software engineer fascinated by how systems get built and the sociotechnical factors that influence their design and behavior.

This space is an ongoing experiment in note-taking and knowledge-sharing. It’s part of my effort to learn in public and work with the garage door up, which means sharing my thoughts, ideas, and mistakes with others. Here, you’ll find a collection of my own personal notes and reference materials. This is a pretty new (and empty) space, but I plan to update it frequently.

I’m trying to impose as little structure here as possible to see what kind of patterns might emerge just from the links between notes and concepts. As the collection grows, I’ll likely start putting up some indexes or maps of content. For now, though, navigation will be limited to search and link-chasing.

If you’d like to get in touch, reach out by email, on Bluesky, or check out my GitHub profile.

Looking for somewhere to start?

How to Take Smart Notes is currently my most densely-connected note.

My Reading List is published here as well. Like most of the site, it’s a little empty now so if you have any suggestions feel free to reach out.
