Hello. I'm Kazuyoshi Kato. A Japanese software developer, living in Seattle.
"Bitfield Notes" is my newsletter. I mostly write about software, hardware, and other computer stuff.
I used to write about such stuff in blog.8-p.info, but since Ben Kuhn recommended providing a way to subscribe to a blog via email:
“Doesn’t RSS work for that?” Yes; I and all three other people who still use RSS will be thrilled if you support it! But if you want your
boringnormal friends to be able to subscribe, you need email too.
And Chris Krycho said that people would reply to newsletters:
One of the best things about running a newsletter was that people would reply. It was like the best parts of social media without all the stupidity. Email is great! It’s terrible, too, especially in work contexts… but for this kind of thing, it’s mostly just great.
I decided to use Buttondown as my blogging platform this year, 2023. So this is my newsletter, but also my blog. Buttondown has RSS and web archive and that's all I need.
