Tim Jacobs

Tim writes about how things work, starting at the foundation and building up until it genuinely makes sense. He is never quite satisfied with knowing that something works; he wants to show you why, in clear cause and effect. His pieces take a tangled idea apart slowly, one piece at a time. Understand the reason, he says, and you can fix it when it breaks, which beats memorising a set of steps that fall apart the moment something changes.
