b/posts/beton-brut.md @@ -0,0 +1,134 @@ +title: Béton Brut +date: 2019-07-21 +author: Wolfgang Müller + +It is hard to believe that it took me well over half a year to finally +come to the point where I can publish this website on my new domain and +leave the old one behind. There's a few reasons it took this long, and +for once, surprisingly, they are not at all software-related. It was a +journey through uncertainty, insecurity, and compulsive hesitancy, which +is why this post will mostly be a reflective one. + +## Legacy Woes + +Last year in November I had a bunch of free time on my hands, and I very +innocently decided to work on a new site design. Back then I only really +wanted to change a few things, since a full makeover seemed a bit too +daunting. Still, after throwing around a bunch of ideas in my head, it +seemed more clear that I would have to abandon the bulk of what I +already had. Mainly this was because the old site was built on a +considerable amount of legacy code: I was using AsciiDoc, which I had +fallen out of favour with, and most of the site was being held together +by an unwieldy Makefile and a couple of hacky shell scripts. + +So whilst it was easy enough to add new content, changing the design or +even merely attempting to tweak core concepts was impossible without a +bigger rewrite. + +Another concern was my growing disdain for a few of the things that I +had published. Ideally I thought it'd be best to rewrite the bits that I +didn't like and keep the rest, but I couldn't find a sufficient amount +of motivation. I ended up neglecting to write any new posts on the site, +and knowing I had stuff online that I kind of despised made me feel +depressed every time I thought about it. I felt that the site could no +longer reasonably present the kind of person I was. I felt that I was +lying. + +## Honest Design + +Around the same time I stumbled upon [Brutalist +Websites](https://brutalistwebsites.com/) (since defunct, and only +reasonably browsable by removing the prominent overlay), which curated a +collection of _brutalist_ websites. + + + +There was always a certain - perhaps morbid - fascination I had with +Brutalism and its idea of _béton brut_, raw concrete. The German word +for this concept, _Sichtbeton_, takes a more experiential approach; it +is simply concrete that is unobstructedly visible. There's no attempt to +hide the underpinning, instead it is displayed with a certain kind of +pride. Core to the whole concept is a notion of honesty, of being +utterly clear about what a thing is made of. + +So when I felt that I was lying about what kind of person I was, it +seemed only fitting to create something new in that sort of style, and +to take to heart the idea of being more honest to the outside world and +myself. + +## The Foundation + +Not only did that mean creating a new design, it also meant starting +from scratch and looking for a new engine to build the whole website. I +quickly decided to use [sblg](https://kristaps.bsd.lv/sblg/) to generate +HTML files from templates, and +[lowdown](https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown/) to convert markdown files to +XML content that sblg understands. + +The whole project would live in only a couple of directories, tied +together with a much simpler and cleaner Makefile this time. Compared to +AsciiDoc, site generation was blazingly fast and very robust. It only +took me about a day or two to fully tweak everything the way I wanted it +to behave. + +## Small Steps + +What ended up taking 90% of the rest of the time was the design. With +the idea of being fully honest came a problem: I started questioning +certain decisions because of what they might reveal about myself, what +they might look like from an outside perspective. I noticed that, for a +very long time, I had been genuinely insecure about releasing anything +that was in any way personal to me. + +For instance, the idea very early on was to have one single page +containing everything I published; be it a piece of software, a poem, or +some sort of essay. This resulted in a lot of internal conflict as I +often considered my poetry to be "pretentious" and inherently less +impactful than a software project. Suddenly I was wanting to have two +sites, one for the "real" and technical projects, and one for the more +personal. In turn that would mean that I was actively censoring my +output by categorizing it away to a more obscure part of the site. + +Another problem was an almost compulsive need to tweak the most +insignificant parts of the design towards a sense of perfection and +coherence that was frankly unattainable. Because of a lot of internal +turmoil, it became impossible to do any further work I would feel +positive of. + +In the end the solution was to take considerable time off personal +projects and reflect on and try to dismantle those problems and +insecurities. I learned that it is very helpful to talk to trustworthy +friends about this, and to find a comfortable space in which to +experiment with being more immediately public with projects, ideas, or +thoughts - even if you think they are unrefined and not ready. This is +especially helpful if one tends to feel vulnerable after having +published or when considering to publish. Initially it is perfectly fine +to create a "mock public" space that no one can see initially, but which +can be made more public as time goes on (a locked Twitter or Fediverse +profile, for example). The idea is to build confidence in the act of +publishing itself, and to take away the vulnerability and fear. + +## Horizon + +Building this sort of confidence in publishing personal content is +time-consuming and not always easy. You may feel the intense urge to +undo a publication or to re-read it until it sounds drab and uninspired. +In those cases, maybe ask a friend for feedback, but most importantly: +take a step back and take some time off. It may read wholly differently +tomorrow. + +As for technical work, if you, like me, feel sometimes that what you do +is unimportant, unrecognized, or invisible, it might help to start a +document in which you collect even the smallest things that have some +sort of impact day to day. Julia Evan's idea of a [brag +document](https://jvns.ca/blog/brag-documents/) is a helpful resource. I +tend to be overly humble myself and want to highlight the following excerpt, +which helped me understand something no one had explained to me before: + +> One thing I want to emphasize, for people who don't like to brag, is – +> **you don't have to try to make your work sound better than it is**. Just +> make it sound **exactly as good as it is**! + +Like _béton brut_, be uncompromisingly honest about your work. Don't +make it sound better than it is, but most importantly, learn that it +has value and that there is no shame in showing it. diff --git a/posts/concrete.md b/posts/concrete.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ecae66c --- /dev/null +++ b/posts/concrete.md @@ -0,0 +1,48 @@ +title: Concrete +date: 2017-03-08 +author: Wolfgang Müller + +Concrete.

To the cat, the whole house is a shelter. Every table, every +sofa, every chair, every bed, indeed every floor is an invitation to +find some rest. Do we not find cats, again and again, in the most +unusual and unexpected places? We find them there, lying and sleeping +with a kind of lightness and peace as if they themselves had designed +that space specifically for them. We find them there snugly in a ball, +breathing softly to themselves and relaxing their claws. + +Now, in this instance, they need them not. In this instance the whole +world around them, usually a cat's plaything and center of attention, +ceases to exist almost, as if they, in their peaceful huddledness, +transcended life and entered the realm of daydreaming. A human realm, +not an animal one. Of which things do they dream? Do they dream of the +mouse that eluded them in the existential battle for life and retreated +back to its hole, its own shelter? Do they maybe dream of the fields in +which they were kings and queens, unchallenged monarchs of old? + +Truly there is something kingly about cats; a certain evolutionary +dignity.

How is it +to live a cat's life? + +I said earlier that cats lie down to repose anywhere. Like a human, +however, they have their favourite spots. Always these spots have a +distinctly human element. It is the small opening under our beds that +we so cherished as a child, dreaming of and building at the same time +a warm and safe den ourselves. It is next to our spot on the sofa, as +if we radiated a familiarity and comfort there even in our absence. +It is in the bags we use for our shopping, the suitcases we use for +travelling. + +It is on our discarded clothes on the table, floor, chair or bed, as +if they wanted to absorb the fragrances of our lives and thus come +closer to our person. It is our smell that is home to them, our ``having +lived'' in something, on something, that is so dear to them. Maybe +they want to feel the pain that was inflicted upon us, or the joy and +happiness that was diffused through the clothes as we wore them. They +are not all without us, and while we are gone they are emptier inside +for the loss, seeking refuge, seeking a nest, seeking shelter from the +rain in the touched and transformed things we left behind. We are their +mothers and fathers to them, we are their family. This bond transcends +species, it is therefore something inherent in life. It is a soulful +longing for nearness, a longing for exchange of life, and what makes +life what it is. + +My cats cannot comprehend what I have written here, but I believe +fully that they feel the same way. The cat hair on my clothes is their +attempt at sharing this warmness, this closeness. And when the cat +lies down close to me and purrs with all the excellence of beauty and +reverberation, then I feel loved in the universe and want to share that +love.
