Abort Retry Fail chronicles the history of the computing industry. This is something that cannot actually be “completed” so long as a computing industry exists.
ARF launched on the 16th of June in 2022, and it was initially just a move of my blog from self-hosted to Substack. As I began researching and writing history articles, ARF started to grow quickly. I then made the decision to move tutorial type content back to self-hosting, and make a more concerted effort at professionalism in my history coverage. ARF began paid-subscriptions due to the financial pressures of my wife’s kidney transplant. Revenues from ARF continue to pay the costs of her medicines for the prevention of organ rejection.
Abort Retry Fail doesn’t do sponsorships, doesn’t do ads, isn’t written by AI, doesn’t do promotions, doesn’t run sales, and attempts to keep a tone of political neutrality as much as is possible for any human being.
