Some sort of disclaimer/context:

I spend about 15 minutes writing a blog post, as that constraint allows me to post every day (that is my goal). This means that it is likely that there will be misspellings and other grammatical errors from time to time. Also, this means I’m not trying to provide a consistent theory of everything with every post. I obviously don’t blog about company information that I’ve learnt under the assumption that I should keep it confidential.
