This is Reid Kleckner’s personal blog. My goal for this site is to try to share my thoughts about compilers, open source development, systems programming, and other topics. The act of listing my accomplishments feels like self-aggrandizement, but I think I’ve reached a point in my life and my career that I’ve done several things that I can be proud of, detailed below. Given where I’ve been and what I’ve done, I think I have some unique perspectives to share. I want to put those ideas out there, and try to contribute to the “small web”.
