two men, a muslim and a jew, set out on foot 
from neighbouring towns, on a pilgrimage to jerusalem 
they meet upon the road, and agree to share in the journey. 
when the Khamsin blows, they choke the same dust 
when a spring is found, they drink the same waters 
in the evening twilight, they break their bread 
and share stories of their youth over firelight. 
they arrive in jerusalem, and go their separate ways 
the muslim meets another one of his people 
this other also comes to the holy city on pilgrimage 
held aloft on a palanquin, floating over the road 
his feet never touched the road. 
who is the compatriot of the one who originally set out on the road?

A Journey

notes


Hey, my name is Nathan.

I'm a programmer a Blue Bottle Coffee.

My day job involves a lot of Typescript and Ruby. I bang on the frontend, the backend, and everything in between. Owing to this, I've had a lot of exposure to just about every part of our stack - from Tailwind & UI components to our [mobile app](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/blue-bottle-coffee/id1440573734) to CDK and provisioning/managing AWS resources. To be honest, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love learning - having my fingers in every part of the software pie (frontend, backend, devops, [...]) ensures I've always got something new consider.

This website is markdown and I use [Dendron](https://www.dendron.so/) to take notes. Not much here (yet) but hopefully that will change. You can look at the source [here](https://github.com/helle253/notes).
