About this site

The Programmer's Fulcrum is an independent publication launched in August 2025 by me, Reuben Walker.

Sometime next year it will become the home of Battalion and Symfony Station as they are merged into my retirement project. It will be covering items and ideas in Battalion's Techno Anarchist Manifesto that relate to development. So if you're intrigued, read that over a cup of coffee or happy hour drink.

If you subscribe today, you'll get full access to this website as well as email newsletters about new content when it's available. For now they will consist of links for each week's Symfony Station Communiqué and Battalion "Destroying Autocracy" post along with the featured item of each.

You can follow this site via federated social at @thefulcrum@thefulcrum.dev.

Your subscription motivates us, and allows The Fulcrum to continue publishing. Thank you!
