About the Author#

My name is Ryan Autry, and this is my site. I’m a building-level IT Specialist / Sysadmin for a large Texas school district. One of my favorite pastimes is to figure out why things work, and why things are the way they are, which I suspect is why I took a liking to this profession in the first place.

In my free time I often think about topics not related to my work, including philosophy, theory of mind, programming, physics, and occasionally politics. A little while ago I realized I liked my ideas, and so I decided to write them down. The only problem is that I’ve never been good at journaling, because with nobody to read the words I don’t see much point in putting them down on the page.

To fix this problem I took a domain I’d been sitting on for a while and, using Claude as a teaching tool, I learned how to use Zola, HTML, and SCSS to build this site. I hope you like it.

About the Site#

SikerSpot will eventually be many things, but the main section (and for now the only section) is dedicated to my thoughts on various topics as mentioned above. If you’d like to be notified when I publish a new essay, please subscribe to the mailing list or the RSS feed.

I put a lot of effort into the layout, colors, font, and feel to make it as easy on the eyes as possible, so if you’d like to help me indulge in an overview of my decisions in this area (when I get around to writing it), please follow this link.
