I’m Madeline Neumiller, a backend engineer who writes to think things through — and would rather those ideas be in the world and challenged than stuck in my head. This is my public notebook, a mix of what I’m reading, noticing, and trying to understand. Some pieces are more finished than others, but they all help me work things out. Lately, I’ve been focused on how technology and systems shape trust, identity, and the ways we connect.
