I’m Justin Pot, a journalist and writer who helps people get more out of technology. I believe that computers and phones are tools, not a way of life.

I write articles that solve problems for readers so they can focus on what matters most to them instead of what matters most to Silicon Valley companies. I do this by writing tutorials, features, and essays for publications like WIRED, Lifehacker, The Atlantic, PCMag, Popular Science, and The Wall Street Journal.

If you’ve ever searched online for a specific tech problem odds are you’ve read my work—I’ve been doing this for fifteen years and have written thousands of articles read by millions of people every month. I don’t care about the numbers, though. I care about putting something useful out into the world and leaving the internet just a little bit better than I found it. If you feel the same way, consider subscribing to Connectivity, my newsletter, where I explore how to be human on a non-human internet.
