# icefox (wiki.alopex.li)

icefox is the handle of Simon Heath, who keeps a personal wiki at [wiki.alopex.li](https://wiki.alopex.li). The writing runs to programming-language design, systems programming, and the culture and economics of how software gets built and reused. Pieces read like wiki pages that argue a position — the [[reuse-less-software|ReuseLessSoftware]] post opens by admitting the title is clickbait and closes with "I'm just an idiot with an opinion. Discuss."

The live site is served behind an [[anubis-wasm-vendor-binary|Anubis]] proof-of-work challenge, so a plain fetch gets the bot wall instead of the page; the ingested copy came from a Wayback Machine snapshot.
