Wrote a new blog post about providing optics, and the state of the art of optics representations: https://tech.lfborjas.com/optics/

Published a blog post about how I haven't published blog posts in over a decade: https://tech.lfborjas.com/a-decade-long-hiatus/

Finally got around to writing about my last year-ish doing some intense yak-shaving in Haskell: https://tech.lfborjas.com/haskell-field-notes-1/
