I'm happy to announce a new side project called Vom Tag, which is my return to long-form blog writing. The name, which is German for "From the Roof" or "High Guard," comes from an aggressive medieval sword fighting stance, and I chose it deliberately to reflect the tone I plan to take. Unlike my Tech Leader Pro channel, which is purposefully kept free of politics and divisive issues, Vom Tag will feature essays from the "sharp edge of modernity," allowing me to write about my strongly held opinions and challenge prevailing orthodoxies.
My core philosophy for Vom Tag is a yearning to return to traditional ways while rejecting progressive modernity - but importantly, NOT to reject technology. I no longer see technology as synonymous with the modern mindset, especially since I believe the "decel" (deceleration) mindset, which views technology as enslavement or a threat, has become the prevailing majority view. I firmly reject that mindset, advocating instead for effective accelerationism (e/acc), and I am happy to live on that sharper edge. I've already launched a holding page at https://vomtag.com/ and secured the X handle @vomtag for updates. Finally, I'm currently debating whether to include audio readings of these essays in a new, separate podcast feed or keep them within the existing Tech Leader Pro feed, and I welcome any feedback on that decision.
