Push CX

Blog of Peter Bhat Harkins from Chicago. I’m a developer and have mostly worked with bootstrappers and startups.

My email address is peter@ this domain. You’re welcome to reach out to me, especially about a topic you see here, though I don’t always have the spare attention to respond.

This blog exists because I like to think out loud as I learn, share smallish useful things, or publish a story so I can conveniently refer to it. Check the dates as you read, because most articles are out of date, both in facts and my current opinions. The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on

2023 site rebuild

Image for: 2023 site rebuild

I rebuilt this site from Wordpress to Jekyll. Many things are currently broken but, crucially, fewer things are broken than in the Wordpress version. So I’d rather launch a sorta-broken site now (August 2023) and clean up live than delay longer.

To-do list:
