I'm working on some writing on my blog [1], trying to improve my writing and explore style.

My current series of post follows the surge of interest in UUIDs with the uptake of UUIDv7. I've seen some subtle misunderstandings spreading, so I dive into nuance. This has spun off some mini projects, like an RFC compliant UUIDv8 implementation based on XKCD 221 [2] (humor intended). I think I have two more in the blog series.
