A journey to mind-shift, productivity, and personal growth as a software engineer

Welcome to the Pen(g)sieve Newsletter by me, Peng Wu. In my “real” job, I do deep technical work of designing compilers & programming languages, a niche domain that I have enjoyed for a very long time.

I re-discovered the joy of learning over a year ago (that itself is a story that I want to share) and aspired to become a life-long deliberate learner. I start this newsletter to document and share my journey of self-discovery and finding Zen in the busy life of a software engineer.

I hope what I share can help others like me, i.e., capable, mid-career, tech professionals with solid skills and good ethics but a lot of untapped potentials. I also want to build meaningful connections with those who have crossed paths with me (e.g., friends, former colleagues, old classmates, professional acquaintances), so that we do not become mere headlines in our LinkedIn profiles.

In the meantime, tell your friends!
