+Hi, I'm EuAndreh -- André Miranda Moreira.  I write software and, occasionally, music.  You can find my
 contact information in the footer of this page, or mail my {mailto}[public
 inbox] ({archive}[archive]).
 
 This is my personal website where I write articles, publish software and more
 related work.
+
+I write about robust software: the kind that still works after the network
+drops, after the vendor leaves, and after you stop paying attention.
+
+That shows up in a few places.  I care about reproducible systems, so I run a
+link:{stateless}[stateless NixOS workstation] and have written bridges like
+link:{cargo2nix}[cargo2nix] and link:{swift2nix}[swift2nix] to make Rust and
+Swift first-class citizens inside Nix builds.  I care about durable data, which
+is why I keep returning to local-first software, persistent data structures,
+and link:{database}[the database I wish existed]: embedded, immutable, and
+syncable.  And I care about tools that don't need a company behind them, so I
+reach for Git, email and plain text before I reach for a service --
+far enough that link:{bugtracker}[my bug tracker is a directory].
+
+I also think about how teams ship -- fault injection
+(link:{fallible}[fallible]), link:{flags}[feature flags], and
+link:{interviewing}[how we interview engineers] -- because robustness is a
+team habit before it is a technology.
