Its good to be good at what you do...

Welcome to my blog! My name is Kenny and I'm a 23 year old who grew up in London and is currently residing in sunny California, where I work full-time as a software developer. I have a pretty wide range of interests, including but not limited to: software, history, the history of software, and the software of history. Oh and I like sports too. And reading! I really like to read. About all the aforementioned topics - and lots more too. Current favorites include: Shoe Dog, by Phil Knight, There Was Once a Country, by Chinua Achebe, and Source Code, by Bill Gates.
Aside from reading I also like to write. I like to write essays (hence this website), and I like to write code (also hence this website). This, though, is not my only site! Here is the link to my OG blog (before I became enlightened and hosted my own): ken10.substack.com. Also, here's a business I am working on with my brother and friends which I will try and post frequent updates about as the year goes on; internationalkonnectionservice.com (self promo anyone??). Anyways, I am one of those weirdos who has a feeling they can maybe have some impact on the world. And maybe my writing can be a small part of that. Or maybe not. I guess time will tell!
The name Pridescribe is a little bit of a play on the quote that says "Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter". I took this quote and decided to set up an ubuntu server at home that requires me to write all sorts of terminal wizardry (thanks Claude) to be able to actually keep the server running. I pinky promise none of these essays will be AI slop - all slop produced here is my own!
