Articles categorized by topic

Search is useful. However, as I approach 200 articles of evergreen content, I find it hard to find my own articles I know I’ve written.

The most common question I’m emailed is, “Have you written about X?” And frequently, I have to spend time searching and browsing to find it. Until AI gets simple enough to answer that question, I’m categorizing my articles to help make finding or browsing them easier.

FYI - Most articles are a mixture of various categories. I just tagged them to the most relevant tags.
