About Ctrl blog

Ctrl blog (“Control blog”) is the developer-focused blog of Daniel Aleksandersen based in Oslo, Norway.

This is where I share essays, tutorials, reviews, and technical notes and articles on a variety of topics.

I aim to write “the article I wish I found when researching a topic.” Many of the articles are the result of my almost obsessive note-taking habit, while others I write some because I believe they’ll be useful to others. I write quite regularly because I enjoy writing!

I publish a list of my most cited sources in the interest of transparency and disclosing any influences, agendas, and bias.

If you enjoy my writing, be sure to subscribe to the weekly email newsletter, and consider becoming a patron to keep it going.

This blog has previously been published under the names “Slight Future” and “Aeyoun’s blog”.
