How I catagorise Tags

This page is a personal reference so I remember the tags I use on this site, what they mean, and when to apply them. Max 1–3 tags per post.

meta Posts about this site itself — announcements, changes, meta type entries. Use when: the post is about the blog, not a topic within it.

ai Artificial intelligence, large language models, and how I’m using them in work or writing. Use when: the post is primarily about AI tools, AI tech, or AI behaviour

career Work, professional growth, team dynamics, and lessons from the industry. Use when: the post reflects on the people side of software — roles, culture, collaboration.

communication Explaining ideas about communicating, for example to non-technical audiences, across teams, or in documentation. Use when: the post is about how we convey information to other people.

devops Platform engineering, infrastructure, CI/CD, and the operational side of software. Use when: the post is about systems, pipelines, or keeping things running.

devtools Tools that shape how I work - editors, CLIs, SSH, local setup. Use when: the post is hands-on with a specific tool or workflow.

books Notes, takeaways, and reflections on books I’ve read. Use when: the post is a book review, summary, or reaction to something I’ve read.

writing Reflections on the writing process, publishing, and finding my voice. Use when: the post is about writing itself, not just a post that happens to be well-written.*
