About

I’m Anshul Prakash. I’ve spent most of my working life around software, which in practice means I’ve spent it around people trying to agree on what a thing should do. The writing here is mostly about the other parts.

What I’m doing now

Building things slowly. Reading more than I finish, and keeping a list of the evidence. Trying to hold fewer opinions, and hold the remaining ones more loosely.

This section will go stale, which is the point of having it. If it looks more than a year old, assume it is wrong.

This site

Astro and plain CSS, no framework on the page, nothing loading that you didn’t ask for. No newsletter and no comments. If you want to know when something new turns up, there is a feed.

The name is Hindi — सरल, saral, meaning simple or plain or straightforward. It describes what the site is trying to be, not a claim about the person who made it.

Elsewhere

The usual places, once I have decided which of them I still use.
