Hike. Travel. Code.
I'm Jereme Evans. I've been building software for 26 years, and these days I'm building Taproot I/O. This site is where I write about that work, and about the hikes and trips Euri and I take when I step away from the keyboard. Browse by code, hikes, or travel.

San Pedro, San Juan, or San Marcos: which Lake Atitlán town?
We slept in San Pedro, shopped in San Juan and ate our way through San Marcos. Here's which Lake Atitlán town I'd pick as a couple next time.
