About
Hello! I’m Saalik. I write software, essays, and poetry to explore unexpected interconnections.
What you’ll read on this publication is a smorgasbord of thoughts on technology, travel, language, and presence. The Spoonful is an ever-evolving buffet.
New posts are published every week or two. They’re organized into seasons, punctuated by a recap.
A couple goodies

On how translations are a lie:
On a metaphor that explains the internet:
On how to create conversational forcefields:
On the magic of software:
