I'm Jacky Alciné 👋🏿‍🧑🏿‍💻 📖

In your Web browser, of course. And not all of me; that'd be weird! You're using Firefox, right? You can catch up by email with 117 other folks, on a social network in the Meta, commonly known as Facebook, Threads, Blacksky in the Atmosphere or X, commonly known as Twitter as I continue to share and work on all things towards history, open digital technology, culture — and everything in between.

I write software for a living across multiple frameworks and languages. I'm currently available for contract and full-time work.

I write posts of varying length; most recently I wrote "More reasons as to why I left the Fediverse". I keep notes weekly and (near) daily links. Here's what I use on the regular.
