About

I’m Leon Shao. I make small software products and write about products, independent work, books, technology, and putting ideas into practice.

Chop Wood is a personal publication and notebook — less a portfolio, more a shelf of working notes. Things here are written to be useful later, not to be finished.

What you’ll find

• Posts — essays and working notes.
• Books — what I read, with a few notes.
• Now — what I’m currently thinking about, building, and reading.
