Allan Ninal

I've spent the last decade building infrastructure for distributed teams and high-throughput pipelines. These essays are the long-form version of arguments I keep having with myself — usually about whether the simple solution is actually simple, and whether it's worth the dependency.

I publish essays here once or twice a month. They tend to be longer than they need to be — that's a feature, not a bug. If you want the short version, follow me on LinkedIn. If you want to argue with me about something I wrote, my inbox is landix.ninal@gmail.com.

What I tend to write about

• software engineering
• distributed systems
• developer experience
• build pipelines
• static site generators

Where else to find me

LinkedIn for professional context. GitHub for code I've written or am writing. X / Twitter for half-formed thoughts that didn't justify an essay.
