About Me


Husband, Dog Dad, Hiker, Employee; in that order.

Here are the highlights:

  • My name is Kevin Macksamie.
  • I’ve been developing software professionally for over 12 years.
  • I’m kind of obsessed with WebAssembly.

More importantly, what am I trying to do here? I write a lot of technical content at my day job, but I don’t get to add any of my own personality to it, if you know what I mean. I have to be very, well, professional, which means

  • I avoid personal pronouns, adverbs, and contractions;
  • I keep sentences terse;
  • and I don’t include underdeveloped ideas, designs, and implementations.

There are more restrictions, but you get the idea. This site is a space for me to write about what I want, how I want. Thanks for checking it out!

BTW, gully-fluff is pocket lint , which I think is a good metaphor for my writings: they’re kind of the remaining bits of creativity I can dig up at the end of the day. But truthfully, I just love hearing the word when said by an angry owl.
