I figured I'd kick things off with something simple.
I'm Alex Carter — an independent tech writer, open web advocate, and occasional builder of things that run mostly in the terminal. I write about how we interact with the web when it’s not trying to monetize our attention, and the tools that make it easier to own your workflow instead of renting it from five different SaaS platforms.
Most of what I publish leans somewhere between:
- Markdown obsession
- Ethical scraping and automation
- Browser quirks and privacy tools
- Writing in public without shouting for attention
I’m not here to go viral. I’m here because some of the most thoughtful, curious people I know are quietly posting brilliant things on Dev.to. I’d rather join that slow stream than yell into another algorithmic void.
Nice to meet you.
