a working notebook on building and thinking about software
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. Here, you'll find a collection of my own personal notes and reference materials. This is a pretty new (and empty) space, but I'm hoping that having it means I'll use it.
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.
The following is a collection of materials I am reading, or have yet to read but intend to. As I finish works, I’ll remove them from the list.
noteSoftware engineering, by nature, has a different set of constraints to other engineering disciplines.
noteChunking is the process by which individual bits of information are combined to form larger, coherent pieces of information in memory.
