Welcome!
I write about understanding the people and principles behind the internet. Currently, I’m trying to understand the machine learning open source ecosystem through an ethnographic lens.
My goal with this newsletter is twofold. The first is documentation, and the second is productivity.
I’m leaving a digital trail for my research process so that others can pick up where I leave off, just as I was inspired by Nadia Eghbal. The digital trail will also help people (readers like yourself) give me feedback.
I also want this newsletter to serve as a forcing function. In each edition, I’ll state what I plan to do in the next couple weeks and update how the previous plan went. Because I’m not affiliated with a particular lab, this is one of my attempts at reimagining graduate school by ‘working with the garage door up’.
