I’m Diego Iaconelli. I work in IT at Anthropic, where I think about endpoints and security. Before that, I spent time at GitHub, Pivotal, and in publishing — a path that’s given me two decades of watching how people and technology shape one another.
I trained as an anthropologist, which is probably why I’m more interested in the people using systems than in the systems themselves. That perspective runs through most of what I write here: whether I’m working through ideas about AI development, examining how communities adopt new tools, or simply documenting something technical that might be useful to others.
Originally from Italy, I live in the Cotswolds with my wife and children. We share a fondness for all things orange — hence the accent colour you’ll find throughout.
Outside of work, I serve as Treasurer of the Mac Admins Foundation, supporting the community of people managing Apple devices at scale. My full professional history is in my curriculum vitae; the story of this journal and its typography is in the about page.
While I work at Anthropic, the thoughts and opinions expressed here are entirely my own and do not represent those of my employer. Everything here is written in my personal capacity unless explicitly stated otherwise.
