Embracing the Future: My Next Gardening Adventure Written in Code
Dear Readers,
I'm thrilled to announce a new project that I've been nurturing like a seedling in a greenhouse. While I'm keeping most of the details under wraps (mulch?), I want to share a glimpse of how this project is breaking new ground.
Remember the joy of planting a seed, nurturing it, and watching it grow? Imagine combining that with the cutting-edge principles of technology, and you'll have a hint of what's to come.
A New Way to Grow
As we all know, gardening is an art form that has been practiced for centuries, yet it's a field that's always ripe for innovation. This time, I'm intertwining the roots of traditional gardening wisdom with the robustness of modern technology.
Writing as a Git Repository
I’ve written about the benefits of Git for writers in the past, and my next book is being written as a Git repository! This method, commonly used in software development, brings a whole new dimension to the creative process.
Here's why I'm excited about it:
- Version Control: Just like pruning a tree, I can easily manage different versions of my work, fostering growth in a controlled manner.
- Collaboration: This approach opens doors to collaboration with other green-thumbed tech enthusiasts. There are so many aspects of gardening and agriculture I want to learn about, and I’ve made friends with some unbelievably cool gardening dorks. I want to bring their ideas and voices to the page with this book.
- Community Engagement: As the project blossoms, there might be opportunities to engage with readers and fellow gardeners in unique ways. Gardens bring people together, and this book is an experiment in deepening connections.
What's Next?
While I'm tilling the soil of this new project (ok seriously I’ll slow down on the puns,) I'll keep you updated with occasional glimpses into the garden. Expect to see a blend of urban gardening principles and innovative engineering projects, all nurtured with the love and care that only a true gardener (and a techie) can provide.
Stay tuned for more updates, and happy gardening!
With green thoughts,
Matt
